Re: Online therapy through webcam videoconferencing at home

[Bobby L.]

ALCOHOLICS ANONYMOUS will never have a professional class. We have gained
some understanding of the ancient words "Freely ye have received, freely
give." We have discovered that at the point of professionalism, money and
spirituality do not mix. Almost no recovery from alcoholism has ever been
brought about by the world's best professionals, whether medical or
religious. We do not decry professionalism in other fields, but we accept
the sober fact that it does not work for us. Every time we have tried to
professionalize our Twelfth Step, the result has been exactly the same: Our
single purpose has been defeated.

Alcoholics simply will not listen to a paid twelfth-stepper. Almost from the
beginning, we have been positive that face-to-face work with the alcoholic
who suffers could be based only on the desire to help and be helped. When an
A.A. talks for money, whether at a meeting or to a single newcomer, it can
have a very bad effect on him, too. The money motive compromises him and
everything he says and does for his prospect.

Of course if you are an MMer or an RRer - you gotta do what works for you.

Yep, it's still in the archives, despite your snipping it.

Suppose there is a remote chance that READing BEFORE YOU SNIP context may
help.

program, and that you are doing your wild accusation thing, again.
sorry, i don't want to play!

It's not your love and gratitude for AA that rubs some folks the wrong
way...
