The Barflies Message Board

Welcome to the Barflies Group Message Board. We encourage all alcoholics to share their experience, strength and hope in a way that is conducive to AA’s primary purpose, which is to stay sober and help other alcoholics achieve sobriety.

PLEASE NOTICE: the Barflies Group maintains the right to block disruptive users and delete posts/replies that do not support our primary purpose as stated above or that we deem harmful to alcoholics. We truly want this board to be yet one more way for alcoholics to help one another, and we want it to be a safe place to go, should the need arise. With that said, we will do all we possibly can to maintain the integrity of the board.

We had to concede - posted by tmi at 05/04 07:16AM Ok, got a literature question for you AA juggernauts! Where in the Big Book or 12X12 does the exert “we had to concede to our innermost selves that we were alcoholic…”. That's not the exact quote, but pretty damn close.

re: We had to concede - posted by jules on 05/04 07:34AM It's in More about Alcoholism, right after "ad infinitum" in the first few paragraphs.

re: We had to concede - posted by Tmi on 05/04 07:47AM Thanks for the reply. Know I'm fully armed with the facts!

re: We had to concede - posted by tmi on 05/04 01:27PM This is off topic, but I have to work with one of the most obnoxious bitches in the world. I just want to pull my hair out. I’ve prayed for her and I’ve prayed for me not to cuss her out, but I’m just about at my breaking point. I've tried over and over again to treat her with courtesy and respect, but she has got to be one of the most spiritually depraved people I've ever met. Back in the 90's the Spin Dr's wrote a very appropriate song describing her titled "Little Miss Can't Be Wrong". Except I don't think their description is harsh enough to suit this woman’s personality. I would not piss on her if she was on fire! She literally seeks adversary and when none is around she creates it.
