      Dan E commented on the discussion topic 13th Stepping
      That MidTown group sounds horrifying, assigning sponsors and encouraging people to sleep with each other. When I host sometimes I say "you know how you can tell AA is not a cult? For one thing we don't require you to donate, ever, and if you come to...Read more

        Dan E added a new discussion topic Some people use AA as a dating service in the group Unity in the Fellowship!
        I've had issues with some people who've used AA to find dates/sex We don't seem to have direct rules against people meeting in AA, like you might at church or a club and deciding to go on a date.What are people's feelings on this?(I'm not...

            My feelings are if you are using it just for that purpose it's creepy and predatory.  If you happen to meet someone and a relationship develops slowly over time, who am I to judge?  Personally, I never thought about dating anyone in AA...

              The “general rule”, as I've always heard it in the rooms, is, “Don't get into a relationship in your first year”, and, “Don't 13th step (hit on/pick up/fuck/get in a relationship with) the newcomers (AKA people in their first year)”. I...

              Dan E added a new discussion topic Why are alcoholics not joiners? in the group Unity in the Fellowship!
              I've heard a lot of stories about alcoholics saying they didn't feel like they fit in. Also, and possibly related, they weren't big "joiners" of clubs, organizations, etc.Is this universal or what is going on here? Is the addiction itself making us...

                  I know a lot of people that aren't big “joiners” and they don't drink.  I think some people are just naturally more introverted/extoverted and depending on which you are plays into that.  I'm not a big joiner because I've been down that...

                  I propose that everyone's higher power is actually the same, whether they think so or not .What do you think?

                      Since God can neither be proven nor disproven that is a moot point.  It's all a matter of opinion. I don't think someone that worships a doorknob worships the same God that I do and to me it is not the same God. It's highly personal and if...

                        That is one of my theories on what might be the case, at least in terms of various interpretations of a deity(ies) or creator. Obviously, if a person is choosing a doorknob, or the group, or some other well known and understood entity, that would...

                          You know Khaos, I was thinking about this when I got into the shower last night after I commented and I do understand the theory that all roads lead to the same God as many do have that belief but then my head went straight to the teachings about...

                          I know a guy who had a lot of resentments at religion (no, it's not me :⁠-⁠)), his higher power is the gym, last I heard.
