You know you're brainwashed if you think God can keep you sober.

When you start thinking all of the lunatics in the roomz AREN'T lunatics.

claim it doesn't happen in AA despite all of the reports saying it does.

You know you're brainwashed if you can "never say no" to AA.

You know you are brainwashed if you think you have to share to the group intimate details of your life that nobody in the real world would tell to anyone other than their closest confidants because "you're only as sick as your secrets."

Gawd, I could have really done without hearing that.

if you don't run from the cult of Alcoholics Anonymous when you can, like 95% of the people do.

If ya think a 6 bloody beer binge makes you an alcoholic, ROLMAO

6 bloody beer binge lol lol lol.

if you think your brain needed washing.

when you believe that what you find in today's 12-step meetings - inappropriate disclosure of personal details or a demand to do so, financial fleecing, assaults, rapes and murders, just to name a few - honestly and accurately characterize the program of Alcoholics Anonymous.

When you minimize and make excuses for the financial fleecing, assaults, rapes and murders, just to name a few of the current stories that are now hitting the papers nearly daily as not being what is happening in the rooms of Alcoholics Anonymous.

You know you're brainwashed if you won't consider that 12 step groups are potentially dangerous, but are aware of their unprofessional structure, lack of authority, soliciting policies, and slogan mantras .

If you think that AA meetings are safer than McDonalds.

Ya know your brainwashed if you attended AA 2 years or less or not at all but your on an anti-aa forum 4 yrs later still bitchin about it :0

you are a pro-AA member and feel you have to be on an anti-AA forum instead of letting the program speak for itself.

You know you're brainwashed if
you encouarge your wife to join AlAnon
you start smoking to fit in with cult
you pray to higher power to find lost car keys
you call sponsor because you were told to

On introducing yourself, in the real world, you say "Hello, my name's...." and can't help adding "and I'm an alcoholic"

HaHa Jr. Not pro at all son, just dont think its dangerous. We could take a ride to the local mtg out here in Suffolk Ny. and peer in at the knitting old ladies. Oh yeah someone on this forum said they were the most dangerous ones on a blog on stinkin thinkin. lol!!! WHAAT!!!@! ;D
