Predators in Alcoholics Anonymous - Watch For These Signs

There are many types of 12 step meetings. AA. Adult Children of Alcoholics, Narcotics Anonymous, etc. These meetings help millions of people deal with life. However, there is a danger in these meetings that you must watch out for. In this video we discuss what to watch out for and how to stay safe in meetings when you are trying to quit drinking alcohol or something else.


Remember alcoholism is a serious issue and you should always see a

Some women will get very jealous if they see you talking to another woman so at all times remain in a state of "good intentions" keeping your side of the street clean

I first heard about AA predators about 7 years ago in Narcissistic abuse online groups. They're definitely real and exist. Good to put this warning out there.

Well done Marcus!... You're one tough guy 💪...I can tell that Terry would be extremely upset if you fell. You both sound like awesome guys. Jason 🦘

A healthy AA group will not allow a predator to get at people. Unfortunately not all AA groups are healthy.

Something to ponder. Former cigarette smokers who quite smoking ARE NOT ever expected by this society of any group of people to continue to identify themselves as current “smokers” when they haven’t touched it in years?. Let alone go to three meetings a day to ruminate in it? Counter productive? Correct? .

Coming from a "Woo Woo" perspective I think the things we can't see can be the ultimate predators. I believe that people who overconsume are feeding something with their anguish, depression, cravings, etc. Someone who was providing sustenance for this unseen character, demon, negative energy for a long time suffers when we go to AA, go cold turkey, and quit. Going strong for ten years and then gets a monkey wrench thrown into his life! Could this negative character be trying to get a Michelin-rated meal out of you?

What kind of predation are you talking about?

[PatriotJewell]

Alcohol is not “cunning, baffling or powerful.”. Alcohol doesn’t “do push ups in the parking lot”. It’s an inanimate object. A substance like caffeine. The individual can choose with in their own power to partake in it or not. Correct?

[frisbeeshawn]

They say stick with the winners. Woman with woman and men with men ..Predators are never cool but the bar scene has many more .. .

Try this commenters. Those in the 12 step “programs”. Try to post a complete paragraph on here with out touting your “clean date” or any other 12 step buzz words or topics. If you can’t? You may be in a cult.

Not all predators are sexual. I was being harassed/threatened by a Christian Nationalist for being a free thinker. Forced to quit the group I was in and go underground.

[PatriotJewell]

Note my comment about the real harm of the program isn’t showing.That’s okay! I saved it.

[travisclymer]

Y’all act like AA women are angels who don’t prey on broken men…….your wrong.
