email regarding AA history lovers group
and roger Eberts public AA anonymity brak
thanks for writing . I am not sure I understand the first two sentences of your email to me.
"there has been no posts" . Until aug 25 09 I guess there were none. Did you click on the link and read eberts post "I am an alcoholic" he is the one breaking his anonymity not me. I got this info about that publicly from google new one hour after his post was made. I read all new about alcoholics on google do you? http://news.google.com/ type in alcoholics and this is how me and all the millions in usa find roger ebert breaking his anonymity. I am not the one breaking his anonymity.
God AA is really in trouble and I can't believe most people are just laying down and doing nothing. what does that mean? AA his not in trouble though numbers are down. you do not give suggestion as to what we should do.?? Me individually You? AACO? District? groups? who should do?
I always here this lame ass thing that God will take care of it. I assume you meant hear
I always hear this lame ass thing that God will take care of it. that god will take care of what lame ass thing. what do god and lame ass have in common--- nothing?
I am sorry if I offend anyone and if I did you probably are the person that is destroying AA.
Who are you trying to offend? Me for repeating eberts public break to the aa history group? ebert for making the break?? if you are trying to offend him write him not me. make complaint with news company that publishes that blog.
As I stated on my website (that small post was only an except copy of of the comment I posted on his blog.) My comment (sent alone with my link to the blog itself) was number six or seven
there are now 319 comments are any of them from you?/
My Name is Roger, and I'm an alcoholic

By Roger Ebert on August 25, 2009 7:37 AM | I am just not sure why you are making your comments and complaints to ME.
feel free to explain to me more why all this offends you. log into roger blog and explain it to he he will read it. I dont mind you sending this message to me directly but do not understand why you did not go ahead and post your email directly to aa history lovers there and we all could discuss your ideas there as a group. Your email does seem to be attacking me.....
I support his break I think it is good for AA
I do not support the AA breaks of anonymous if angry men newscaster Glenn Beck
and CNN newscaster
and I do not support the AA breaks of AA and Velez-Mitchell who hosts HLN’s Issues with Jane Velez-Mitchell,.
Not only has she broken but on here daily show there is a bombardment of advertisements stating she is an alcoholic and info selling (hawking) her NEW book on alcoholism (its called "I WANT:" aa and recovery . THEY ADVERTISE IT 15 TIMES A SHOW. Jan V Mitchell member of alcoholics anonymous new book... I have been meaning to write to her my concern about this (same as your concerns to ME/... or you mean to Ebert?) here is a blurg from cnn about the book. While the blurb below does not mention alcoholism and AA that is all you hear on the show constantly. AA Recovery I am famous buy my book.
Using the 12 Steps in every aspect of her life, Velez-Mitchell shares how she shed many of the self-destructive habits that plague Americans, habits responsible for a host of social ills from the obesity crisis to environmental wreckage. She admits to having been one of the 300 million Americans who shops and acquires addictively and describes how the 12 Steps have put her on the road toward shedding unnecessary material possessions and limiting waste-despite a society that glorifies excess.
the ebert anonymity break was the head line news for aug 25 09 I did not make it so. It is eberts post. I send carbon copy blind email of this response to you to glenn the moderator
of aa history lovers because I seek his input (reflections) on your email to me and my reply to you..
again my comment to Roger himself was number six or 7 now of 319. I am going to reaf all the responses today. take the response you sent to and publically post it to his blog as YOUR COMMENT.
LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU THINK
and thanks for taking the time to write me
