Woke Alcoholics

Alcoholics Anonymous is not what it used to be, it seems. At least not in the UK. After attending for over 20 years, one recovering alcoholic reports that the organization excludes people it deems unsafe and spends time…

… agonizing about how to encourage more alcoholics from ethnic minorities because the membership of AA “is predominantly white.”

A debate noted the need to explore “the barriers to entry” for black and Asian people. Well, the main barrier to entry is Muslims not being allowed to drink by their own culture, I would have thought. So unless they’re suggesting we get religiously teetotal people drunk in order to then get them into AA, they should let that disparity go…

I first became aware of the changing tone a few years ago, when the preamble started being adapted in meetings to get rid of “men and women.” I noticed a lot more members than usual were closing meetings by inviting people to join them in the serenity prayer “using the word God as they understood Him, Her, It, or Them.” So stupid.

Get With the Program

Apparently, one cannot even be an alcoholic in peace without getting high on the woke supply.
