What is wrong with someone who hates Obama so much she'll bring his name up at an
AA meeting (substituting his name for "The White House"). I mean, come the fuck on. This woman is so obsessed with her hatred of this guy and his "inability to speak without a teleprompt" that she drags him into her recovery. This is the thrid time she has done this. Hahahahahahaha.

I can only laugh and tell her the secret to life is learning how to live with an Obama administration.

1. Acceptance is a hard nut to swallow.
Change the things I can and bitch about the things I can't?

2. Seriously...but it's getting tedious.
There are only about 50 of us day after day after day after day telling the same stories over and over and over and over.

5. Is there any way to remind her to keep the focus on herself?
Does she have a sponsor to remind her that people, places and things aren't the problem, her drinking is?

That's the one problem I've found with self help groups, there's no one to moderate and give gentle reminders when things stray way off topic.

10. The meeting leader can say, "Thank you, who's next."
We use to have a topic to stick to if everyone agreed before hand.

9. I would suggest you find a new meeting to go to.
You could start your own if there are enough people who feel as you do. You only need two of you.

I stopped going to meeting because of that.

6. Isn't learning to accept the things that you
can't change part of AA's philosophy?

8. That kind of attitude is only
going to hinder her in her recovery, holding onto bitterness seems like it would impede in the 12 step process. :yoiks:

13. All that screaming can only mean one thing
She's dying to get his attention 'cause she has a major crush on him and she knows he'll never be unfaithful to Michelle so she's doomed to live the unrequited life of a never could be.

16. Many of those who suffer..
have grave emotional and mental disorders, but they do recover if they have the capacity to be honest.

17. Obviously she's a hard core Shittohead.



She puts a funnel up to her ear every day and says to the radio "fill 'er up".

19. Someone needs to snap her out of it when she's doing it.
Like a dog. Maybe use Caesar's shh sound. My shh sound would be, "oh shutup already for chrissakes!"
