    Orange paper literally: 1 The Twelve Steps do not like a program of recovery from drug or Alkoholprobleme.Die AA failure rate ranges from 100% to 95%. Sometimes the success of the AA rate is actually less than zero, which means that AA indoctrination positively harmful to people and prevent recovery means. Some tests have shown that even no treatment for alcoholism is much better than a treatment, AA: One of the most ardent supporters of Alcoholics Anonymous, Professor George Vaillant of Harvard University, who are also members of the Board of Trustees of Alcoholics Anonymous World Services, Inc. (AAWS), showed by his 8 years audit of AA that AA was worse than useless – it does not help the alcoholic more testing than no treatment, and it was the highest death rate of a treatment program – one death rate that Professor Vaillant himself as “terrible”. If you try to prove that AA treatment works, Professor Vaillant actually proved that AA kills. After 8 years of AA treatment, the score of alcohol-dependent with Dr. Vaillant first 100 patients: 5 sober, 29 dead and 66 still drinking. (Nevertheless, Vaillant is still a trustee of Alcoholics Anonymous, and he still wants to send all alcoholics to AA anyway To change a setting by their sins to a high status healer. “That is cult religion, not a program for treatment of alcoholism.) AA The down is terrible. Most people who come to AA looking for help in leaving drinking are appalled by the narrow sphere of fundamentalist religion and faith healing. The AA meeting room has 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 is. Even the AA’s own triennial surveys, conducted by the AA and said the headquarters (the GSO), that: 81% of the entrants within 30 days away, 90% off in 3 months, und95% disappeared at the end of the year. This automatically gives AA a failure of less than 95%. But the GSO does not count all those people who only a few meetings before stopping – they do not qualify as “members” to. (This is equivalent to “cherry-picking”.) If we have included them, the figures were much schlimmer.Da is especially the propaganda techniques of the “everybody does it”, “AA” or a similar twelve-step program is an integral part of almost all successful recoveries. “This is a complete lie. The vast majority of people recover successfully without AA or “support group”. It is what “everything” tun.Dann they use propaganda techniques the use of passive voice and vague proposals: “It is not generally a twelve-step program in a treatment plan is supposed to addicts on the street again and share a relapse. ” It is generally assumed, by whom and what to learn about anonymous people, what are their qualifications? Are they doctors? Medical School professors? or the vendor for a 12-Step Treatment Center? Why, what some anonymous invisible gates supposedly, anyway? The authors of the propaganda technique of alarmism You are “on the road to relapse” – you will probably die – unless you practice Bill Wilson’s Twelve Step cult Religion.Und than the fluff-Pollyanna attitude of the head is outrageous: Just To wonderful AA meetings is apparently all that is needed for some alcoholics, AA beheben.Aber because a zero percent chance of success, is not above and beyond the normal spontaneous remission, the true sein.Ein problem common to all Christians with the Anonymous alcoholics, which is the organizational task of the Bible. The Big Book, Alcoholics Anonymous, the new Bible. Some members are still entitled to the Bible, I sometimes use a little lip service to hear the Bible as “Keep the Big Book next to the Good Book,” but you will not see quotes a Bible in one sitting, and win ‘t hear . Each one the big book, and get all the lectures, or a similar book of daily meditations, also by Bill Wilson and other members of the AA geschrieben.In fact, reading the Bible at the meetings of Alcoholics Anonymous is normally prohibited . The Bible is the “outside literature”. Aloud at the meetings of everything but AA “Council approved” (and AA-published) literature is untersagt.Darüber AA has also given substantial Jesus Christ. The AA-believers believe that Bill Wilson, Jesus Christ, is superior when it comes to the treatment of alcoholism, and you’ll hear Bill Wilson quoted a hundred times more than Jesus Christ. (In fact, I really can not remember the last time I heard Jesus Christ in an AA or NA meeting, quoted …) The third edition of the AA Big Book does not contain the word “Jesus” anywhere, not even once. Bill Wilson raved constantly about “God”, but never talk about Jesus Christ. There is a and only one mention of “Christ” in the entire book, and it is the statement of Bill Wilson, before his incredible experiences with Bella Donna, are called “spiritual experience,” he was not much of Christ with Ministers, and religions of the world, I parted right. When she spoke to me of a personal God, love, superhuman strength and direction, I became irritated and my mind went against this theory is closed. To Christ, I gave the assurance of a great man not too close second, followed by those who claimed him. His moral teaching – most excellent. For me, I had the parts which seemed convenient and not too seriously, the rest I have not berücksichtigt.Das Big Book, 3rd Edition, William G. Wilson, Chapter 1, Bill’s Story, Pages 10-11.Offenbar Bill put a lot of things to do with the fact that even after he “saw the light,” and saw “the God of the preachers’, because Bill Jesus Christ or not, nowhere in the Big Book, niemals.Die first edition of the Big Book contained a story called: “My wife and I,” that a row in which Jesus Christ: Those men were and they visited me, as I had tried everything, and although it was clear none of them were seen perfectly, they were living proof that a serious attempt at the cardinal teachings of Jesus Christ to follow, she nüchtern.Diese History was supported by the second, third and fourth edition gesunken.Das word “God” appears in the first 164 pages of the Big Book (or William G. Wilson wrote, co-author or edited) 106 times the word “Power” as in “Higher Power” or “the power that is God “appears 22 times, the divine” Him “appears 26 times, and the divine” being “is 15 times, but there is no” Jesus Christ “never once erwähnt.Anonyme alcoholics is not a Christian religion, regardless of what some members say. It is a good religion, despite the denials of the members who claim that only a “spiritual program.” Alcoholics Anonymous is a religion Buchmanite. Alcoholics Anonymous is just crazy Frank Buchman’s “Oxford Group / Moral Rearmament” of religion, which has only slightly modified by William G. Wilson and Dr. Robert H. Smith werden.Grundsätzlich of Alcoholics Anonymous and practice the teachings of Dr. Frank Nathan Daniel Buchman, another man, who had little use for Jesus Christ, because his own beliefs and teachings of Jesus chooses those. Bill Wilson was not invented to conceal the theology of AA – he simply copied them from Frank Buchman.Trotz the fact that Bill Wilson tried the close relationship between AA and Frank Buchman, Buchman’s Oxford Group has three sets in the third edition Big Book, while Christ was alone. (The first two entries of the Oxford Group in the storming of the second edition, and the third is on page 218 of the third edition in history, “he thought he could drink like a gentleman.”) By the way, if you consider that Jesus’ first miracle turned water into wine at a wedding feast, the one real problem with Jesus as a member of Alcoholics Anonymous. . . (John 2:1 to 2:11.) I am a critic of Frank Buchman’s Oxford Group, Reverend HA Ironside, criticized the Buchmanism say it is not remembered as a Christian religion, in spite of the Buchman’s claims because there was because Buchmanism everything would still be possible, if Jesus was never born. The same is true of Alcoholics Anonymous. AA was no official word of the tenets of the church, even if Jesus Christ was born never to change. The Holy Twelve Steps does not mention the Bill Wilson, Jesus Christ, Jesus Christ and not have to work and do the Twelve Steps, or even that Jesus Christ ever existed haben.Weder the Twelve Steps on each of the doctrine of Jesus Christ. (They are based on the teachings of Dr. Frank Buchman.) Alcoholics Anonymous is simply no need and no use for Jesus Christ. AA honored Bill Wilson and Dr. Bob, Jesus not Christus.Bewertung: 1 / 5

    I am ashamed to say, but I’ve read this book at least 10 times. The nightmare started about 8 years, when at the urging of a friend “I did rehab for what was the first of many such” treatments “. The indoctrination process began immediately. “The first 163 pages to save …” Was one of the things I learned from some washed up alcoholic who once resorted to drink while living homeless in some Sterno gap. He has never stopped. Enough to AA meetings, and you hear the same things over and over and over again. . . you get the idea. How fast were we) (newcomers subjected to brainwashing. For me there was always an uneasy feeling. It was scary for those who only a few days in the rehab sound from parroting the same sentiments and stereotypes of their sponsors to hear. An ominous warning that I focus on paying haben.Jahre later, I realize that I am one of the unfortunate souls who was swept into a religious cult with the help of consultants, social workers, 12 steppers, and had even doctors. I was getting sick, depressed and drinking, and worse with mine. My mind was the belief that I was powerless and my only hope was replaced as part of the program. “There is a reason they call you” program “. I was a 12-step automatic Dipping deeper into the religiosity of AA with each subsequent relapse. I have it all. A meeting every day, working the steps, visitors step of study, service work, meetings, retreats… you name it, I did it. I had the common sense and reason, and followed the move towards 12 fruitcakes.Wenn his new sober and looking for help to find elsewhere. This book is a waste of time and can even be dangerous to health. If you think a support team you are to a buoy or even stay home and Rational Recovery, or one of the books read Ellis’. Do not go to 12 step meetings. I’m not an AA meeting near 2 years and I’m finally sober and happy . Figure.Bleiben Going out of 12 stepper. It took me years to come to this realization that they – the members of Alcoholics Anonymous is active in AA, because they help people remain sober. Take a look at the numbers. The vast majority of re drug / alcohol recovery without 12-step involvement. AA and NA have violated their evil spawn more people than they helped. Rating: 1 / 5

  3. If God, whatever you want, this book is for you. If there is a way to separate yourself from the horrors of alcohol abuse, or where to look. This is a book review, no right or wrong whos blog. After reading this book, I have concluded that the doctrine of the sect as support and as a scientific fact. The version of the book was updated over time, but still contains the original basis written about 69 years. 69 years? You will deal with the behavior of a problem with a technique that old? Its like cutting off your leg to treat a broken ankle. Things have changed, with the treatment of drug abuse. About the authors, use the Internet IT. William Wilson, writing the book went through tasks and under the influence of a drug called belladonna. They would report seeing “God” in these circumstances. Wilson was also Unfaithfull to his wife, with the new members of the AA, is called Stepping 13. Above all, he plagerised other authors to develop its program. The steps were of a man named Buchman, who wanted control of his religious beliefs (the Oxford Group) was stolen and a Hitler supporter. Please, if you mad at my review, check the Internet or other books I know that my statements are unterstützen.Ich, people would say, it works for me. I support you, congrats.Wie a book, it is outdated, sexist and misleading. Rating: 1 / 5

    . No quarrel with the content or the history of Buches.Allerdings this book written in 1939, and it shows. The language is stuffy and impentrable in many places. The author uses too many complicated sentences and too many exotic words. There are also numerous indications that culutral completely lost on the reader in 2006 gehen.Ich know AA has a sharp drop in sales of that book in the last 15 years have seen. I can understand why many in recovery today, but little for him to use (more than half of the AA meetings) is no longer for sale around the book. One wonders if the message does not resonate for contemporary alcoholic, or if the pompous and ponderous writing of the author may be confusing for many people, what message would ist.Ich really recommend the book as the re-write of to date . Until then, to read, it is like to try the Bible in the original Sanskrit language .. Rating: 2 / 5
