You have 30 minutes?

Penn and Teller: Bullshit! 12-Stepping.

I quit AA 7 years ago after 7 years in the program. While I still believe that addiction is brain based, I don't believe that God can fix me. P & T pretty much frame why I quit. I got tired of the worn platitudes, the deification of Bill Wilson and Bob Smith, and the Big Book zombie-like transformation of people I considered friends.

Did AA save my life? Yeah, I think it did. What does that mean? Fuck if I know, but I can't see myself going back.
