AA, NA---all the same shit. I've witnessed the grumbling between the two and it's pretty sickening. The fact that people afflicted with the same freakin' disease can't agree to relate should shed a little light on the dilemma alcoholics/addicts face every day with "regular" people. It's like Non-Insulin dependant diabetics feeling superior to Insulin-dependant diabetics. Ridiculous, purile, petty and just stupid. And AA/NA membership can breed more distrust than just obstaining with the help of some local church-group. Invite a member of AA/NA into your house and best not turn your back. I invited a young, single mother in for a cuppa and when my back was turned a few choice items went missing. Gullible Travels. That's me.
