Alcoholics Anonymous was never meant to be merely one more seductive influence competing for control over an alcoholic

Alcoholics Anonymous was never meant to be merely one more seductive influence competing for control over an alcoholic, his life, his attention and entire devotion, like some spiritual movement or cult.

Freedom is a state of not being not restrained or fettered. Once being enslaved, bound to the Self a recovered alcoholic now becomes a successful victor in the race against alcoholic obsession.

Are you a Universist?

Universists are individuals who allow our personal philosophy to continue evolving. We are uplifted by a continuous search for meaning in a complex universe that deserves our unbounded vision and appreciation. Universism posits that religious philosophy should not be conceived in terms of one's views toward God, but rather the method and attitude with which one approaches religious questions. Universists embrace the creative force of uncertainty, which is fundamental to human progress. We determine our meaning and purpose individually; our understanding comes through personal reason and experience. Our universe is a beautiful constellation of ideas whose light is threatened only by the black hole of faith.
