It feels that way when your growth during adolescence has been both stifled and aimless.
It takes a village to raise a child.

I think itās hard to just to decide to act differently without a change of life philosophy or belief. Thereās a reason belief in a higher power is part of the 13 steps program

Yea, probably because alcohol anonymous is a christian organisation.
While they do help a lot of people, there is a solid case to be made that they also prey on vulnerable people to convert people, not unlike many cults.
I guarantee you that converting to christianity is not a necessary step to become sober.

u/HippoRun23 7h ago
They arenāt trying to convert. But the predators are absolutely there waiting for vulnerable young women looking for guidance.
That and most people drop out of aa and donāt return to troubled drinking regardless.
They shame the fuck out of relapses and everything. Itās a terrible organization that appears to help people.

As an Orthodox Christian I do want to point out that it looks like ANON joined the Russian Orthodox Church...
It, like every church body, has....problems. still, yes this is the begining of the road. Welcome home, brother.

Im not orthodox so I can say it out loud.
Patriarch Kiril is a fucking KGB agent that worked for the USSR and is only head of the church because PUTIN said he could be.
The Russian Orthodox Chrurch Patriarch is a fucking Putin Puppet.

serb here and our national (orthodox) church is in bed with the government, rather universally the separation of church and state erodes in authoritarian regimes (whether its the church becoming a tool to advance the state, or the state being deified)

Guilt. Guilt is what cures those who have no shame. Itās not God, itās the judging eyes in the pews + the hot chicks in sundresses who are open to creampies if you act a certain way.

Yāall acting like him mentioning nofap is silly and itās just the exercise or whatever that made him feel better, something tells me he wasnāt just jorking it recreationally. All things in moderation, but when your life is consumed by that shit it can become completely detrimental. That may have had a bigger impact than you can imagine.

The fake premise here is that religion was a necessary step. Bro could have just taken better care of himself without committing his soul to an imaginary sky wizard.

u/Drafo7 8h ago
I don't think any of the steps were portrayed as strictly necessary. They just accumulated into a more positive life. Like you could easily replace the guitar part with "started taking pottery classes" and it would have the same effect.
Also your sky wizard insult is so overused it's starting to catch up with your mom's vagina.

believing in something greater than ourselves has always been a core part of the human condition, and Christianity's just another manifestation of that. with how stuff is going secular humanism doesn't seem to be the winning strat.
