Alcoholics Anonymous Doctrine for Drunk Sheep

"It is a spiritual axiom that every time we are disturbed, no matter what the cause, there is something wrong with us."  Bill W. from 12 Steps and 12 Traditions.

This statement has been read at one time or another at every AA meeting place I've attended since 1994.  When I see it coming I've learned to simply leave the room rather than attempt to argue the fact that this statement (doctrine from the guru of AA, Bill W. no less, designed to subordinate his followers) is pure nonsense, e.g.:  I find my house engulfed in flames, my family inside, I get "disturbed," to say the least.  I'm not supposed to though, lest I fall into the ominous pit with those who have "something wrong" with them. There may well be plenty of things wrong with me, but they are not revealed every time something disturbs me.  AA members forfeit the luxury of getting disturbed.  What bullshit.
