River...
Thanks....I have been away for a couple of days, and during that time, i felt perhaps I shouldn't have related the bad I experience I had with the stalker....
Until meeting this person, I knew nothing of AA or 12 step programs, and so my introduction to it is certainly tainted by his sociopathic behavior and abuse of the program.
I know that many people are helped by the 12 step programs, and from my observation, these people are good and sincere in their behavior and intentions. I observed that many longterm members seem to have a wisdom to discern the sincere desire for recovery vs. the con artist using the program for dishonest motives. Unfortunately, when a person talks the talk, I have trouble determining who's sincere and who's not.
