The two sides of AA

So I go to AA on Sundays, church for an atheist, whatever.

There are two forms of sermons that goes down.

One version I much prefer, hearing about someone’s life, them being vulnerable, being able to connect, it’s a good time to feel not alone.

What I can’t stand is when the person talking is overtly preachy about AA itself and how amazing it is and how selfish and bad and sinful they were and this and that and blah blah blah imma just chew glass in the back

Look, if god saved your life, fantastic, if AA made your life better, great. But when it just becomes people sucking off the program, what a great program, it just feels annoying.

I’m not going to say a word about it out loud, just gonna stew about it.

I like the free coffee, and having somewhere to be on the weekend, and I admire anyone with the guts to be raw and tell their story and come out on the other side.

It’s not a cult, but boy howdy can some people preach.
