When some DBT could help a Big Book Thumper, but I could be wrong...
Y'all. I was in AA. Now, I am happily removed from its clutch. The PTSD from it? Honestly, worse than the PTSD from my drinking (and there was a lot with that).
Backstory to this lovely Facebook chat exchange:
A guy posted about how AA did not work for him. In his post, he carefully mentioned that he thinks it is great it works for some. There was no argument of its faults - just the mention of its ineffectiveness for him.
Went to the comments - cause, them AA'ers make themselves known (only when needed, of course)
a woman made a comment on his post (image 1). I responded (2nd image). Then, the grand finale: her response (image 3).
Anyway, she has something I don't want.
I see posts like this often. Sure, the claim of all AA'ers operate under such delusion would invalidate my ability to think critically, and ultimately display my dichotomous thinking. Yet, I do see this in alarming amounts. Scary shit, y'all. Stay safe!
Because I am running on a bit of unhealthy cynicism - feel free to share your unhinged interactions with those that run with good old Bill.
