So I’ve been having a bit of problem with “The Program.” So much so that I’m thinking of not going to any more meetings.
The weird thing is that I don’t want to stop working it. I have no intention of stop working the steps. I just don’t want to go to meetings. And I haven’t run it past my sponsor yet, but I wonder how she’ll react.
I went to my first meeting back in November, and I won’t lie, I had this little voice in the back of my head saying, “It’s a cult.” I’m not sure where I got it from other than my brother who was forced to go to another version of The Program, but honestly, given his DUIs and his refusal to stop drinking, I took it with a really, really big grain of salt.
Now, I’ve seen people for whom it has transformed their lives. People from church. People I’ve watched over a period of months lose fantastic amounts of weight. So, there’s this, “But it works,” thing in my head, too.
