panacea...??? hmmmm... yes... that's it exactly...

AA certainly comes closer to fitting that catagory than anything else i've ever found... but remember... AA will only work for those that are willing to go to any lengths to get it... you only get out of AA what you put into it... so... if you expect it not to work for you it won't... recovery is an inside job... in that you are the one responsible for taking whatever measures to make the necessary changes that lead to the wholeness of a full recovery...

i think the problem with todays people is they've been lead to believe that there is a drug/pill for everything... if you've got a headache... take an aspirin... an ulcer... take and antacid... can't sleep take a pill... there seems to be a pill for everything... and in the process of popping more and more pills we become more and more dependent on drugs to fix us without every taking a serious look at the real problem... and that is where the program of AA works best... because it gets us to examine the core of the problem rather than simply trying fix the problem with a bandaide...
