However I went to AA about 10 days ago. I'm about to go again this week. Id like to go once or twice a week, the more I get out the better.
But for some reason I can not explain some folks in AA want to say don't socialize anywhere unless your in your 12 step program or at church because everyone who is not socializing like this is partying and participating in addiction behaviors, drinking doing drugs or having illicit sex.
But that's not the truth. Theres plenty of Yoga classes and fitness centers here in MEsquite, I use to go to 24 hour fitness, we also have community centers or recreation centers with fitness instruction and swimming in the summer. We also have a library with arts and crafts for adults and also job training classes.
We can also join a book club at the library hang at the library, we've got Town East Mall. We also have zen meditation and a budhist center and yoga classes out here, and a Muslim center. So The Christian church is not all we have to go worship at.
We also have role playing games which I know some of the people at AA say it's Satanic but I really think it's just to detour people from socializing outside of AA but there also a game center right out here that has board games too so that's no excuse and I've been to both so no addiction behaviors there no liquer or drugs.
Sometimes I think they really believe these things are not from God but sometimes I wonder if folks in AA are not just promoting AA and the church?
