Alcoholics Anonymous - Why Can't We Do That?

[Rev.Cambeul]

What I mean to say is, why can't we do our own prevention programme for alcoholics based on Salubrious Living  and adherence to Creativity in its purest form? For that matter, why not for junk food-aholics, bulimics and the rest? An all encompassing programme that is set up to provide a service, promote our religion and continues with our ultimate goal of saving the White Race.

A rough outline would be accepting responsibility for your own actions. Recognise why you drink/eat/chunder as you do. Admit it. Move on and treat it with a special diet you must adhere to - the detox. In the long term, change the life pattern that causes you to drink/eat/chunder, and above all, you must embrace Creativity.

AA has a "Big Book" about this

http://www.aa.org/bigbookonline that we could probably begin by parodying (or would that be blaspheming?), and then we would make our own cuts and additions until the Christinsane crap made sense to us and actually did some good for people. If we are able to devise a comprehensive course of our own, and throw in a little councillor training at a night school for our ministers, I think it would do wonders for Creativity and for the White Race.

What do you think?

@Cailen.

P.S. And before anyone asks, the idea popped up while watching a Penn and Teller special about AA.

It is a good idea and it will go far for the recruitment and retention of quality Creators. I've tried in the past to approach addicted Whites with the idea that Creativity itself will give them the direction and discipline they need to move forward with their lives. I've said it a number of times that conversion to Creativity gave me the structure and discipline to leave my hometown, earn a graduate degree, and become an asset to whatever job or organization I might take on. As far as health concerns go, I use SL as a guideline, fasting when needed and watching what I eat. I am better off for doing so.
It would be a good guide to hit a new recruit with. Self discipline is a good yardstick by which to measure a good Creator. If one can't control eating habits, etc. how can they be expected to be in prime shape to work for the Church?
The Big Blue Book minus the christinsanity that coddles the weak would indeed be a powerful resource for those who need it.

It is something I have often thought about... I walk around Belfast, and see a few men and women, fallen to the ills of addiction, and wonder how I could get them to stand up straight and proud again.

In my opinion, and perhaps this is specific to here, I think I would need a 'place'.. a house, farm or something, that would completely remove them from the ills they have fallen upon. From there all the personal stuff could be sorted, as well as all the mental/physical addiction stuff.
Not every person will come up to the mark, but my, the ones that do would be impressive people, having looked at the bottom of the barrel in the face.

This morning while scanning some family documents for a relative, I stumbled across a Church of England Temperance Society certificate issued to an aunt back in 1925.

"ADD TO YOUR FAITH VIRTUE AND TO VIRTUE KNOWLEDGE AND TO KNOWLEDGE TEMPERANCE"

While well and good for the Christinsane, we can issue the same type of thing for our Church and Supporters. Just replace the word Temperance with Salubrious and we have an addition to our own anti-alcohol and tobacco campaign.

Further research led to this ...

Holding such a card meant that the holder had agreed to abstain from drinking any alcohol.

A good reminder to have by one's door. I tacked up the phrase "Honor is Life" by my door and even though I never go out to do any harm, it gives me a moment to pause. It is essential, especially for Creators to be above the common mentality. So even if you are living positively, as you should, it doesn't hurt to remind oneself, to continue to do so. Positive and honorable thoughts influence positive and honorable actions and words. That goes for work time and recreation time equally. Enjoy life, absolutely! We Creators are life affirming people! Take care though. We all know where moments of weakness and negativity can lead.
