You know you are brainwashed if you are convinced that you cannot leave an open fellowship despite not having on cuffs, shackles orknow that the doors are unlocked.

Remember Christopher Stevens when you vote.

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

"Tradition 10 - Alcoholics Anonymous has no opinion on outside issues; hence the AA name ought never be drawn into public controversy." Please follow orders from the Interchurch Center if you are an AA member and don't comment.

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.

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.

“The essence of the independent mind lies not in what it thinks, but in how it thinks.”
― Christopher Hitchens, Letters to a Young Contrarian

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 .

don't read the verified reports of pedophiles being sent to AA and claim that you aren't registered so you can't read them, even though you don't have to be registered to read or post.

you know that a knitting old lady will most likely be sentenced to AA or NA when she gets out of jail and you still say that a knitting old lady at an AA meeting is safe.
