Christmas time can be a hard time for some.

December 22, 2018 Posted by MONICA RICHARDSON Uncategorized 1 Comment

I want to wish you all a Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all who pass though my blog. The holidays can be difficult if you don’t have family. SMART Recovery is a good option is you are looking for an alternative to AA. There were years in my early time in AA I went to a thing called an Alka thon – meeting after meeting all day long for those who were alone – Sadly there were a few years in my early time in AA that I left my Dad and a nice dinner to go to these stupid meetings with my sister and sit amongst the weirdest freaks I have ever met- some creepy too- thank GOD after I was sober about 3 years I stopped going to these events. I stayed and spent it with my family in Hawaii. I had a DAD – my stepmom , Susie and My sister. Much Love to you all. You can find us on FACEBOOK – LEAVING AA and Deprogramming –

    Hi Monica!
    Happy [free from AA group think and abnormal abusive psychology ] Holidays!

    It’s strange how the huge number of voices in the AA protest movement has subsided. I think they gave up trying to change the things they can not change, Oops, AA has hijacked the slogans. Decent People gave it their best effort explaining why AA is so abusive and just malpractice. But AA is a crazy pseudo medical religion that has become so embedded in public folk lore that it’s like you are killing Santa Claus if you criticize AA. People are tired of the crazy debate with crazy AA voodoo culture. Oh well that’s their loss. We’ll just have to learn to enjoy our freedom anyhow.

    I still Thank all AA protesters for speaking up as much as they did.
    I never have to feel alone about experiencing AA abnormal mind control again.

    Happy [AA Protest] Holidays!
    Z
