Reggie MacDonald — A Life Remembered

Thoughts on AA Treatment

Thoughts on AA Treatment

The following are some notes on Reggie’s thoughts on AA treatment …

“If you want to sit around and talk about your “feelings” over endless cups of decaffeinated coffee, then maybe rehab is for you”

… great program for alcoholics … here 6 weeks … at least half come in for drug problems …

… took 3 weeks to figure out that I’ve been trying too hard … got as much as anyone else, all along [I] should have said … I’d pray, talk to sponsor, go to meeting, work steps, everyone smiles, says he’s doing great with the program – took 3 weeks to figure that out.

… can’t honestly sincerely say I’ll never use again, so I haven’t. Can’t say I’ll get up tomorrow and pray and go to a meeting – what you want to hear. Don’t know the answers to questions.

Take no responsibility. Let someone else fix. If I can stop, I will, but God or AA’s not going to do it for me.
