also fucked up how AA is like "if you ever drink again its all over for you! one beer and you're instantly an alchy again" its a great way to establish a self-fulfilling prophecy that sends people right back to the meetings and shit. one of my biggest milestones in recovery is the fact i can chill and have a couple beers or a glass of wine and not go out of control. obviously it looks different for everybody, which is exactly the problem with orgs like AA and NA that drill you with the idea you are powerless to your addiction and there's nothing you can ever do about it besides pray or call some guy and you need to feel bad and guilty for being an addict.
