Orange Papers literally: 1 The Twelve Steps do not work as a program of recovery from drugs or problems alcol.Le extends from A. A. failure rate of 95% to 100%. Sometimes, the AA’s success rate is actually less than zero, which means that AA indoctrination positively harmful for the people and prevented recovery. Some tests have shown that not also receiving treatment for alcoholism is much better than receiving treatment, AA: One of the most ardent supporters of Alcoholics Anonymous, Professor George Vaillant of Harvard University, who is also a member of the Board of Trustees of Alcoholics Anonymous World Services, Inc. (AAWS), showed by his 8 years audit of AA, AA was worse than useless – it did not help, alcoholics no longer than no treatment, and was the highest death rate of a treatment program tested – a death rate, that Professor Vaillant himself as “terrible”. While trying to prove that AA treatment works, Professor Vaillant actually proved that AA kills. After 8 years of AA treatment was the score with Dr. Vaillant first 100 alcoholic patients: 5 sober, 29 dead and 66 still drinking too. (Nevertheless, Vaillant is still a Trustee of Alcoholics Anonymous, and he still wants to send all alcoholics to AA anyway to get to a “change of attitude by confessing their sins to a high-status healer.” What is the religion of worship a treatment program for alcoholism.) The rate of the task AA terrible. Most people who get AA to stop looking for help with drinking are appalled by the narrow-minded atmosphere of fundamentalist religion and faith healing. A. A. The conference is a revolving door. The therapists, judges and probation officers (many of whom send hidden members of AA or NA) continually new people to AA, but the newcomers vote with their feet when they see what AA really. Even ’s AA’s own triennial surveys, conducted by the AA said the headquarters (the GSO), that 81% of the newcomers are gone within 30 days, 90% in 3 months away, walked E95% by the end of the year . That automatically gives AA a failure rate of less than 95%. But the GSO does not count all those who only a few meetings before quitting – which is not as “members”. (This is equivalent to “cherry-picking”). When we closed, the figures would be much peggio.In Firstly there is the propaganda technique of “Everybody’s doing it” is “AA Twelve Step or a similar program is an integral part of almost all successful recoveries.” Which is complete lie. The vast majority of sufferers recover successfully without AA or “support group”. That is what “all” facendo.Poi with the techniques of propaganda use of passive and vague allusions: “E” a growing opinion that it can not also be a program of twelve-step recovery plan for treatment of drug addicts continued road to relapse. “It is generally accepted, by whom, and what these people without a name, you know, what are their qualifications? They are the doctors? Professors in the Faculty of Medicine? Or the salesman for a treatment center 12 Step, why should we, fear what some believe nameless invisible probably stupid, anyway? The authors and the techniques of propaganda, it will “die on the road to relapse – probably – unless you practice Bill Wilson’s Twelve Step cult religione.E Pollyanna attitude then the fluff-headed is outrageous: just go to the wonderful AA meetings is probably all that is needed to correct some alcolisti.Ma since AA has a success rate of zero per cent above and beyond the normal spontaneous remission, not the vero.Un problem is that every Christian with the organization of Alcoholics Anonymous and the role of the Bible, can be. The Big Book, Alcoholics Anonymous, is the new Bible. Some members say they still have the Bible, I sometimes feel a little “lip service as the Bible,” Do not hold the book for the next good book Big “does not appear, however, a Bible in one sitting and you won ‘t hear quoted. Each person brings the big book, and come from all the readings, or a similar book of daily meditations, also by Bill Wilson and other members of AA.In fact, reading the Bible aloud in the meetings of Alcoholics Anonymous and written generally prohibited. The Bible is a “non-literature.” aloud during the meeting is anything but AA “Council” (AA-and published) literature is vietata.Inoltre AA has essentially abandoned the Jesus Christ. The faithful believe that Bill Wilson AA more than Jesus Christ when it comes to alcoholism, and listen to Bill Wilson cited several hundred times higher than Jesus Christ. (Actually, I do not remember the last time I heard Jesus Christ, quoted in an AA or NA meetings …) The third edition of the AA Big Book does not contain the word “Jesus” anywhere, not even one time. Bill Wilson raved constantly about “God”, but does not speak of Jesus Christ to everyone. There is one and only one mention of “Christ” through the whole book, and Bill Wilson’s statement that prior to his hallucinatory experiences with Belladonna, the “spiritual experience” are not very useful for Christ with Ministers and the world’s religions, I parted right. When she spoke of a personal God to me, that love had superhuman strength and direction, I was irritated and my mind was taken against such a theory. To Christ, I gave the assurance of a great man, not too different from that supports it followed. His moral teaching – most excellent. For me, I had the parts which seemed convenient and not too difficult, so did the rest, I considerazione.Il Big Book, 3rd Edition, William G. Wilson, Chapter 1, History of Bill, p. 10-11.A Apparently Bill still has a lot of stuff that view even after the “light” or saw “the God of the preachers,” why Bill ignore that Jesus Christ, or even not everywhere in the big book, not mai.La first edition of the book contains a great story, “My wife and I,” a line that included Jesus Christ in which: Here were these men who came to see me and how I had tried everything, and although it was clear to see that none of them were perfect, they were living proof that a serious attempt to follow the cardinal teachings of Jesus Christ, she was sober. This story was developed by the Editions second third and quarto.La word “forsaken God” appears in the first 164 pages of the great book (William G. Wilson wrote or co-authored or last) 106 times, the word “power” as in “Higher Power” or “power , which is God “appears 22 times, the divine,” He “appears 26 times, and the divine” his is “15 times, but there is no mention of” Jesus Christ “not a single menzione.Alcolisti anonymity is not a Christian religion, regardless of what some members, as saying. It is a religion well, despite the denials of the members, who claim that it is only a program of “spiritual.” Alcoholics Anonymous is a religion Buchman. Alcoholics Anonymous is just lunatic Buchman’s “Oxford Group / Moral Re-Armament” of religion, only slightly edited by William G. Wilson and Dr. Robert H. Smith. Fondamentalmente, Alcoholics Anonymous believe that the teaching and practice of Dr. Frank Nathan Daniel Buchman, another man who had little use for Jesus Christ, because he preferred their own beliefs and teachings of Jesus that Bill Wilson did not invent the theology of AA – it simply by Frank Buchman.Nonostante the fact that Bill Wilson has tried to close ties between the AA and Frank Buchman, Buchman Oxford Group has three keep copies mentioned in the third edition of the Big Book, and Christ has only one. (The first two members of the group’s future at Oxford for the second edition, and the third is on page 218 are the third edition in history, “he said, he could drink like a gentleman.”) Given the fact that the first miracle of Jesus changed water into wine at a wedding celebration, it could be a real problem with Jesus, a member of Alcoholics Anonymous … (John 2:1 to 2:11.) Reminds me of a contemporary critic of Frank Buchman Oxford Group, Pastor HA Ironside, criticized the Buchmanism said that it was not a Christian religion, despite the claims that Buchman was because Buchmanism everything is still possible if Jesus never been born. The same applies to Alcoholics Anonymous. AA should not change a word has been the dogma of the official church, even if Jesus Christ is never born. The Holy Twelve Steps by Bill Wilson did not speak of Jesus Christ, Jesus Christ and do not have to work to, and the Twelve Steps are not even Jesus Christ are always esistita.Né the twelve steps on each of the doctrine of Jesus Christ. (They are on the teachings of Dr . Buchman. based AA) simply do not need and not for the use of, Jesus Christ. AA loves Bill Wilson and Dr. Bob, but Jesus Cristo.Voto: 1 / 5
I am ashamed to say it, but I read this book at least 10 times. The nightmare began about 8 years, when under the influence of a “friend” I went into rehab for what will be the first of many of these “treatments”. The process of indoctrination began immediately. “The first 163 pages, click Save As …” There was only one of the things I learned from some washed alcoholic who once resorted to drink while living homeless in some sterno gorge. Has never stopped. Going to AA meetings, and you will feel quite the same things over and over again. . . you get the idea. How fast we were) (newcomers subjected to brainwashing. For me there was always a feeling of uneasiness. E ‘was scary for those who only a few days off mimics the same feelings sound rehabilitation and stereotypes of their sponsors were heard. I lent an ominous warning attenzione.Anni after I realize I swept one of the unfortunate souls who was away in a religious cult with the help of consultants, social workers, 12 steppers and even the doctors were. I was sick, depressed and my drink and deteriorated to use. My mind is with the conviction that I was powerless and my only hope was replaced in the “Program”. There’s a reason they call it the “Program”. I became an automaton, a 12-point dive in the deep religiosity of AA further with each relapse. I have done everything. A meeting every day, work practices, visited the school-by-step, the work of service, conferences, retreats. . . you name it-l’ho done. I have the good sense and reason, and follow the direction Fruitcake punti.Se 12 are newly sober, and for help elsewhere. This book is a waste of time and can even be dangerous to health. Is this a group you think you need to go to a meeting of Life ring, or even better stay at home and Rational Recovery, or read one of Ellis’ books. ” Do not go to the meetings of 12 points. I do not have to meet the AA near 2 years and are finally sober and happy. Go figure.Stare of 12 stepper motors. It took years to arrive at this conclusion, and that this – are members of Alcoholics Anonymous, are more interested in AA, as they will help people stay sober. Take a look at the numbers. The vast majority of re drugs / alcoholics recover without the participation of 12 points. AA and NA to produce his evil hurt more people than it helped. Rating: 1 / 5
If God is what you want, this book is for you. If there is a way to separate your self from the horrors of the abuse of alcohol, watch as others where. This is a review, no right or wrong whos blog. After reading this book, I gathered that the religious teachings and support as a scientific fact. The version of the book was being updated in the course of time, but still contains the premise originally written over 69 years. 69? You are dealing with a behavior problem with a technique that the old man? Its like cutting off your leg to a broken ankle to heal. Things have changed, with the treatment of drug abuse. About the authors who use the Internet. William Wilson, writing the book went through tasks and under the effect of a drug called belladonna. Nobody would report seeing “God” in these circumstances. Wilson was also Unfaithfull to his wife, with the new members of the AA, this is the 13th Step. Especially that develop plagerised other authors in his program. The steps were wanted by a man named Buchman, control of his religious beliefs (the group of Oxford) has been stolen and a fan of Hitler. Please, if you get mad at my review, check the Internet or other books that I know affermazioni.Lo, people are saying ongoing support, it works for me. I support you, congrats.Come a book is outdated, sexist and misleading. Rating: 1 / 5
LARGE PRINT I ordered for my child to read, and they sent small print. Please let me know what you do about it. Thank you, Carolyn Davis Rating: 5 / 5
. No argument with the content or the history of libro.Tuttavia, has written this book in 1939, and it shows. The language is stuffy and impentrable in many places. The author uses too many complicated sentences and too many foreign words. There are also numerous references culutral that are completely lost in the reader 2006.So, AA is a sharp decline in sales of this book in the last 15 years seen. I understand why many people recover again today, as only very little (more than half of the AA meetings) is no longer for sale around the book. They have wondered whether the message is no longer suited to contemporary alcoholic, or if the writing stilted and clumsy author leaves many confused about what is the message given in realtà .Mi recommend the book, a contemporary re-writing. Read Until then, it’s like trying to the Bible in the original Sanskrit .. Rating: 2 / 5
