So I was watching South Park last night (12-7-05) and a few things struck me as odd or true. One was the twelve steps they had AA using about believing in God and accepting Him. That struck me as odd so I looked it up starting on Wikipedia and using Google as well. And hely crap it was real. Please excuse me for I am about to go into rant mode (TM). How in the HELL is believing in God supposed to help you recover from alcolholism? Now I don't doubt that AA has helped a lot of people, but I don't believe that believing in a higher power is going to help. You know Stan said it best: "All you have to do is stop drinking as much." I will get hideously flamed if anyone reads this but Stan hit it right on the head. You want to stop getting drunk all the time you admit to yourself that YOU have control over your actions. You can say "NO. I will not have another drink" You can say "Yes, I have a problem that I can and will have to fix." Another thing he mentioned is moderation. He hit the nail on the head here as well. If you want to avoid alcoholism you have to drink in moderation. All you have to do is avoid getting drunk as when drunk you don't have much control over your actions and I'm sure we've all seen drunk driving accidents on the news. Just admit you have powere over your actions and
