Growing up in a loving home is something most would typically wish for. Growing up in a loving home and feeling unworthy of that love may seem a living nightmare. From a young age I always felt as though there was something intuitively wrong, whether it was not meeting expectation or being unable to complete a task the way I perceived it should have been. There was always this impending need for more from myself, that for some reason I could never fill. That all changed when I found the one…

Reflections of an AA Meeting Attendance by a Non-Alcoholic Support Meeting Reflection I attended an online Alcoholics Anonymous meeting. There were twenty-six participants there, including myself; two of which were moderators. I had actually logged on early, as is my habit attending seminars, and observed the other participants chatting beforehand. I was surprised by the lack of seriousness surrounding this whole process. The group members were not somber, in fact they were displaying…

both with each other The meeting started with one of the AA members reading some sort of Alcoholic Anonymous definition that despite its short length I cannot reconcile a 100%; but it included a phrases that basically said that an AA member acknowledges that the alcohol took over them and that they couldn’t control it without help. The meeting continued with a portion read out of the Alcohol Anonymous book, which they call the BIG BOOK. The passage of the day was a portion of Chapter 5 it…

person needs to surround his external climate with other addicts and ex-addicts. One of the best ways most addicts can recover from their addictive behavior is enrolling in a twelve-step program. To see how a twelve-step is like, I visited a Narcotic Anonymous (NA) candlelight meeting. The twelve-step meeting researched contradicts Mate’s twelve-step journal. The twelve-step meeting was located at the YMCA hotel in Glendale. The meeting was held in room two, which was in the basement of the…

How does Anonymous portray itself? The portrayal of Anonymous has two dimensions; a portrayal for the world to see and a portrayal for its members to see. Those two portrayals are for different purposes. The portrayal for the world is so that there can be a branded identity which society recognizes is “Anonymous.” This is portrayed to the world through its symbology, its activities or lack thereof, its tools and products. The primary symbology for Anonymous has become the Guy Fawkes mask.…

My Alcoholics Anonymous meeting took place in 202 W. Broadway, Anaheim. The whole AA meeting lasted about an hour thirty minutes. The building seems to be an old church that no longer is being used. There was about 25 members who attended that evening’s meeting, and about equal ratio of men and women. When the meeting started one of the member read the AA preamble. Then another member read the actual 12 step list. Seems like everyone remembered the 12 step list, because everyone read…

Anonymous sat at his former desk in his former office, confused about this unexpected turn of events. The environment around him was obviously a dream, but why did the dream seem fused with his memory? Not to mention how vivid the dream was. It was unnatural. The entity that hid out of Anon's sight was obnoxious, he could barely make out the shape, but it seemed so familiar. He couldn't move his eyes to see it. Even worse, he couldn't move any part of his body. He was stuck doing whatever he was…
