    This is my first time hearing Astrid share. While direct, assertive and all-encompassing of steps 1-3, she speaks to the newcomers level of understanding but keeps the attention of those with time with her keen sense of humor and humility. Being a rare “alcoholic only”, I think she addressed the dual or multi-level addiction topic (so to speak) in a very wise fashion….. Thank you!

    Spanking your kids causes alcoholism? I disagree, and I don’t like speakers that try to add new purposes to the program and claim their unsubstantiated opinions as facts. Not worth listening to in my opinion

      i didn’t here her say that. i was on a hard line myself in which I was constantly critiquing almost everyones shares. What I do is try to listen for the message of hope and relate to what I can. Astrid is a doer. She was more that happy to give me her number so that if my daughter wanted to contact her she could. i have yet to meet two people alike in AA even Big Book guys like myself can become very unhelpul when we sit in judgement. when I do so I cut myself off from the sunlight of the spirit which is really what this is all about. What would God have me Be? Kind tollerant. loving, open, or judgemental, arrogant and argumentative? ( I do get your line of thought though and in part see the truth in what you stated) She is however a dynamic AA member and does tons of work with others and is always willing to be of
      service. we are free to agree or disagree

      I wasn’t allowed to speak my mind as a child and when I did I was shamed and “spanked” with a belt that left marks for days. The outrage I felt from this was never addressed and I too learned to stuff it down which left me feeling emotionally abandoned and hardened and uncommunicative. The result was I had a difficult time forming relationships with people because I had few social skills and the rage would surface when I was ignored or challenged or something became problematic. Alcohol relaxed all my inhibitions and seemed to give me the power to resolve all my relationship problems for awhile until alcohol addiction became my problem. Thanks for sharing my story Astrid.

    Every newcomer woman I’ve shared Astrid with has loved her honesty and candor! I liked her pointing out when Bill and Bob started this deal they had no idea how complicated the future would become for society’s ills. She has great energy. I doubt she was ever shy.

    Doesn’t believe in singleness of purpose and that addicts have no safe place to go. Hello? NA is a powerful program for pure addicts. Not an AA talk

        I’m ok with approving this at the moment to illustrate a point:

        Discussion is fine, but comments that are argumentative, or have any ill tone won’t be approved.

        I’ll permit this comment only to illustrate a point:

        Civil discussion is fine, but if it steps into argumentativeness or any derisive tone, the comments won’t be approved.

      I always struggled with drugs and tried NA for awhile and until I found AA and the big book which led me to God I could not stay sober. AA has saved my life and I’m extremely grateful the doors are open to anyone who wants the help.
