THE PHONE BOOK
Imagine the telephone book getting something right that has so far eluded every intellectual, government official and doctor in Canada.
This morning I was looking in those first few pages of phone book for a Telus service.
I came across a list of social service, and what do you think it said under "Addiction Services?"
Not Insite or Harm Seduction or any of the other blathering bad public policy mistakes of the last 20 years.
No.
It said in plain English and bold type ALCOHOLICS ANONYMOUS and NARCOTICS ANONYMOUS.
These two organizations, with no money and no publicity and no fame and no kvetching, of course, help more human beings to live clean and sober than all of the other thousands of fakers who suck the Great Tit.
Congrats to the folks at The Yellow Pages.

Here, here David, I echo congratulating The Yellow Pages!
Congrats also to the folks with AA and NA who do actual good for addicts, unlike the addiction industry and their "harm reduction".
David,
I just heard a gentleman on the radio discussing AA. He is an alcoholic but has has been clean & sober for 40 years.
The host asked him whether he considered alcoholism to be a disease. He adamantly said he did not and then went on to explain why the medical profession had been trying to label it a disease.
I'd be interested in your thoughts on this!
Robert
