Guest guest Posted June 27, 1999 Report Share Posted June 27, 1999 Hi ; This Captain Control was what I was talking about when I mentioned AA emasculating a man and he ends up being just mean because the rest of the man is gone. Remember in the BB it even touches on it and says men sometimes go impotent. It's not sobering up that does that it's AA philosophy that does it. I grew up in a dysfunctional family, but I still manged to learn the way a real man conducts himself. A man provides for and protects his family. How can he do that when he's never there always at AA. The group becomes my family and deep down I know it isn't right. I got a battle royal going on in my conscience and if AA wins out like it usually does, I'm in big trouble. Newly sober men who are married should never go around AA if they want to stay married. In all my years around AA I met one happy married couple, but they were both drunks and had met in AA. They were both nice folks. They were so exceptional that I hung around with the guy, his name was Wally, hoping it would rub off. Eventually I realized they were just exceptional people who would be happy in the middle of Hell. Every sponsor, but one that I've had has been a philanderer, one had an affair with my wife(Not the present wife) and I ended up with a divorce courtesy of AA. That wasn't enough, though I had to be beat up some more. Actually almost another 20 years worth before I got out. Glad to hear you're done with Capt Control and his ilk. Hell, you're a grown man, you can figure your life out better than anyone else. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ eGroups.com home: /group/12-step-free - Simplifying group communications Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
