Question by vérité: Question for atheists?
The famous 12-step program is completely about you and God.

If God is imaginary, why is the 12-step program so widely used and praised?

Quick description:

The twelve-step program is a set of guiding principles for recovery from addiction, compulsion, or other behavioral problems. Originally proposed by Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) as a method of recovery from alcoholism, the Twelve Steps were first published in the book, Alcoholics Anonymous in 1939. The method was then adapted, and became the foundation of other twelve-step programs such as Narcotics Anonymous, Overeaters Anonymous, Co-Dependents Anonymous and Emotions Anonymous.

I never said this was proof of God’s existence. Heck, I’m an atheist.

Read my question – if God is imaginary, why is this so widely used and praised? It looks like at least a couple people gave some insightful answers

ive even taken sex addict quizes and it realved i was a sex addict

from the time
i was 12 or 13 until i was 22-23 i was bascially sort of obssesed with sex
well i mean i thoght about it , wrote or read about it would masterbate lol, buy toys look at and buy porn , sleep with married men in secret meeting palces, do it in cars, i would be secrtive and feel ashamed and it made my mother upset naturally.

im a female btw
but i NEVER had sex until i was 19 and ironically i was 19 when i got my first kiss too

and also i was NEVER EVER sexually abused or assulted in anyway either

anyway , from the time i was 19 until 8months ago ive had sevaral casual encounters with 20+ men and 3 women

the weird thing is , for months now (6 – 8 ) ive had no desire for sex with a man or any real desire. i use to be constantly horny but now its like i only feel that way when i pms and thats only for a few days. can anyone explain why this would happen? i mean im glad im not doing what i use to do but i find this odd

even when i was in a relationship with someone i didnt want it either( and he was good and i was able to o-r-g-a-s-m
but its like i could care less for real sex and i only masterbate to try and fall asleep

A question about something personal?

admin — Sun, 04 Apr 2010 15:07:47 +0000

Basically my dad became a drunk, and he drinks everyday, he injured his knee and hes been missing work and i did not go to school at all because all he would do is drink all day long. Me and my mom have been fighting his alcoholism for about two years now but after new years he heavily relied on strong liquor and he was a totally different person. He would say that he is going to go work in the basement because our basement is not finished meanwhile he gets drunk down there. He is a really hard man to understand and to speak with, when hes drunk hes is unstoppable. He would drink every single day and would play fight with me and sometimes take it to the extreme. One time he got really drunk, my mom got mad and started crying yelling about divorce and such and she tried to put him in bed but he would say that he needs to go into the basement to “work” and get up again, my mom would stay in his way and that time was the worst i have ever seen him. He pushed my mom against the wall, and i had to step in, I pushed him slightly onto the bed and told him to sleep, he would still get up it was like 3 in the morning and he finally fell asleep. My mom would cry and would have finger-print bruises and i would never forgive my dad after that. Its an instant cycle, he asks forgiveness and does it all over again. No matter how many times i would look into his drunken eyes and tell him all sorts of stuff that he is doing, he would say, i dont give a $%^& i dont care about you, and i would say ive been your son for 19 years he would say i dont care. An instant #$%^ing cycle, divorce, alcohol etc.. And it got worse i would go to bathroom or go to take a shower he would momentarily go and get drunk. There were times we fought, and i have bloody knuckles and he would also. He is not my dad he is a monster, without any sense of remorse or sense of feel when he is completely plastered. Next morning he would wake up, and wonder why me and mom are looking through apartment ads and are mad at him, as if he did not do anything at all. My mom would often give in and forgive him, cut him slack and such. And it would never finish positively. Infact she cuts him so much slack that he gets to drink some liquor and almost finish the bottle meanwhile my mom is somewhere else. I told my mom i will hide the bottle and i will not tell her where its kept. We tried everything we took away his money, his cards got rid of all the alcohol, and yet it still happens. Whenever my mom drinks wine and gives him some too he drinks much more much much more than she does. He always drinks beer, when he doesnt have any liquor. Right now that ive been watching him and taking care of him at home, he changed tremendously but he still craves liquor. Maybe now i can start to go to school. The reason im saying so much detail is that i need to cut the most uneeded pieces for the explanations to my profs so that the profs dont call the cops on my dad or something like that and effection, any ideas? Thanks for all the input!

Sexual addiction question?

admin — Fri, 02 Apr 2010 21:06:42 +0000

I think about sex a lot in a daily basis and I watch an un-average amount of pornography. I even think about cheating on my fiance with other women and even start sending secret messages to ex’s and other girls I know might have sex with me. Now granted me and my fiance argue a lot and that is no excuse for these things. I am worried that my sexual mind is something I need help on. How do I help myself?

Maybe some experience is needed to answer this question?

admin — Fri, 02 Apr 2010 20:52:50 +0000

I have a very close friend – almost family really – that was doing meth for about 2-3 years. Noone knew and he got away with it for a long time. He was finally caught because his boss confronted him. His boss told him he had to go to rehab because meth is not something you can just stop ‘cold turkey’ without help. BUT he didn’t. He said he stopped, took a drug test {one of those hair tests that tests back 90 days} for work and passed but I’m scard that without this help he will eventually go back.

I have read statistics that say that only less than 6% of meth users go back to it if they don’t receive the proper treatment. Does anyone know if this is true? Any other statistics that you can share.

We want to become roommates but I’m scared that he will eventually go back to this.

Any information would be appreciated!

Is airpant’s response to this question the funniest question ever?

admin — Thu, 01 Apr 2010 10:06:45 +0000

Q. What is your secret addiction?

A. Every night I go home and dress like Hillary Clinton and address the nation in front of a VHS camera and while im doing this I make subtle gestures to myself to watch later. Later on I watch and see myself as Hillary making gestures to me and I masturbate thinking about how sexy her fat calves are and how it would be great to be be the first husband or lady because Im not really sure if she is a man or a woman, but I dont think she does either, so I guess it is OK

Question about my “addiction”?

admin — Sat, 27 Mar 2010 11:07:20 +0000

Okay look, I basically just want to know if I’m alone in this…

I don’t drink. I don’t smoke. I don’t do drugs. BUT…

I masturbate on an average of twice a day, sometimes more. And that means EVERY DAY. I look at porn on my computer while doing it, and when I’m done, I feel relaxed and more focused on getting things done. I don’t have a girlfriend, so there’s no conflict there… I’m just basically wondering if you guys think that it’s too much, or if there even is such a thing as too much. I enjoy it, it’s not hurting anyone, so it’s all good there… the thing is… I can NOT go a full day without jerking off. Just can’t do it. Is anyone else like that? And would you consider that an addiction?

Ive been sober for a week and a half and have a question.?

admin — Tue, 23 Mar 2010 08:53:19 +0000

Hi,

Im a 20 year old college students who has had severe binge drinking problems in the past. I have a history of alcoholism in my family and the substance has been plentiful in the atmosphere that i’ve grown up in. As expected, partying can be a product of the college experience and it seems to have hit me hard. For the past 2 years (since I was 18), I had been pounding anywhere from 40-85 beers a week. I know the severity of the situation and am lucky to have such a great support system of family members to rely on to help me quit. I have been sober for a week and a half but I still have an immense urge to consume alcohol. My fiance has been there to provide support and to help me through the withdrawal symptoms. I don’t want to be a full-blown alcoholic before I am of legal age to drink. I have and extremely addictive personality and have had trouble with substance abuse in the past. I was highy addicted to aderrol, vicoin, and oxycontin. But i quit using those drugs without rehab and I plan to become sober without rehab. My support system tells me that I need to find something to replace the alcohol that I can always reach for just like I always used to reach for a beer. I have found a subsitute for the beer and It is diet Dr. Pepper. In your opininon what do you think about my replcacement. Is diet Dr. Pepper bad for you. I drink diet Dr. Pepper quite frequently but not as frequent as I drank beer. Do you forsee any negative health effects from the use of diet Dr. Pepper. I usually consume anywhere from 48-64 oz of diet Dr. Pepper a day. Is that a safe amount? Any insight anyone can provide to my dilema would greatly be appreciated.
