A recovering alchoholic could look to anyone who has higher moral sandards and
stand out in society, I stopped being a morphine junky by looking up to my
father and seeing what he stood for and watching his work ethic, he did'nt need
drugs or alchohol to get through his day, his driving force was the he could
wake up, go to work, and make a living for his family. You do not need a super
natural force to guide you the way or any AA or Narconon classes to do this all
you need is a positave role model in your life.. AA and Narconon may help some
people who are weak minded but most of them end right back up where they were,
where is god to help them then? Maybe god works through these positive role
models I'm speaking of, I don't know.. It's hard to fathom religion.. but I
belive AA and narconon is a joke.
