Which stepper activity is the most morbid and self-delusional?

The most morbid activity is telling people who stay sober without AA that they are fooling themselves. How do they justify minimizing what they consider a miracle? Why isn't it twice the miracle if someone does it without their divine help?

Why do they need to keep fucking with God's plan?

I think the most morbid and self delusional cult aspect of steppism, is recruiting for the stepper cult in the totally self serving and self absorbed delusional belief that recruiting others into this cult guarentees your own sobriety more than anything else. wilson knew this was going to be a money spinning con as soon as he wrote BB Chapter 7 Working with others.

It is probably this self serving delusional belief combined with the powerlessness doctrine that has done more to spread this cult than anything else.

Having said that it was listening to the "They told me" "I want what they've got" "Character Defect" speech that broke the camels back for me. It really is the exact SAME cult speak BS over and over and over again.

Somebody once said to me "I'm glad I'm an Alcoholic, where else could I get all this?"

All what, just sitting in meetings constantly parroting the same endless shit, or solemnly and all knowinly nodding in agreement when somebody else parrots the exact same shit, I really could not see what she could possibly find attractive in 'all this'

Who in their right mind could possibly 'want what they have?'

Pretending God works miracles for you and talks to you just because you are in a stepper cult also pisses me off

Come to think of it the practice of confession and praying for the removal of character defects is also pretty damn morbid.

I hate everything about AA, its ALL morbid and self delusionary can't we have some more votes?

How about wearing a shirt that says "Work Steps or Die, Motherfucker!"?

The tracking, capture and retention of Prospects for the cult of Alcoholics Anonymous is a morbid 12 Step activity. The worst morbid activity is going on group missionary prospect "canned hunt" trips with "corrections committees" to jails and prisons to bring back to chant Bill Wilson in residential church basements. The housing of these "prospects" usually consists of "sober homes" owned by the elite of the local Intergroup and are uniquely situated to lower housing values and standards of living in that area.

I voted other because I think the most morbid activity of the AA faith is the hijacking of funerals of its own victims or even people rumored to have once been a member. The family of the deceased really has little or no say in this hijacking of the funeral, and should the words 'he/she was a friend of Bill W' be printed in the obit, it is a calling card for them come ahijacking.

The circling of the coffin and the chanting of the AA dogma is offensive and dangerous. The practice is employed to take attention from the failure of the program and re-enforce its talking points.

Some must die so others might live. That is some seriously dangerous bullshit.

That catch-phrase (said by steppers all over the country) has got to be the most pathetic disrespectful thing I ever heard at a funeral. Sick sick sick.

The options are all lunacy and of course there is so much more. I voted option 3, the fanatical preaching that people receive when they walk through the door. I found it very offensive to have total strangers lecturing me about "spirituality" and asking me personal questions, telling me what I "had" to do. As if they somehow had a right to interfere in my personal life. Oddly enough, this was accepted as normal behavior and supported by the group. Objecting damned you to being in denial, not working a "good" program and then shunned.

Pictures of wilson and smith and slogans and such plastered all over the walls is pretty morbid as well.

smith is one sinister looking sod, his picture could possibly give some more sensitive people nightmares

or self delusional 6 pak bingeing alcoholics, that can't drive for shit.

swilling fortified soup, 6 beer binges & parking lexus's on their roof is evidence of maddness & self delusion, very common in those parts apparently.

The scare mongering they do when they knew I couldnt accept their crap and was leaving. I was dumb enough to try to reason with them.
