Mag,

       Is using a crutch as bad as using a bottle. Is a crutch like a broken
home or a battered wife, or innocents killed by a drunk driver. "Is just a
crutch" to me demeans AA and reveals a high level of ignorance about AA. Can you
tell me of ANYTHING used byy humans that cannot be turned into a crutch. I am
really ranting on this because I have people go from sobriety to drinking and
death because someone said that AA was "their crutch".

Off of soap box now

Bobby
