Side effects of AA
You have got to be kidding me! You must have a very different definition of "unkind" than I do. In your mind, it's just dandy fine to hatefully mock someone who spent a month in the hospital, flat-lined, described his misery in all it's heartbreak - but it's NOT okay to say "I hope she is drunk because I'd hate to believe that's who she really is?" I'm still hoping, because I liked Cindi before. I'm having a really hard time liking her now. You, Sheri, are off the wall in your perceptions of "unkind," and if you are "personally offended" that is your personal issue. Perhaps you should join AA write a 4th step on it - find out which of your character defects is causing your unhappiness. That is the AA way.
Sheri, take your amazingly prejudiced POV and just get bent. Oh, was that unkind? Tough. Perhaps you should complain about this very post, and maybe, just maybe, someone will come rescue you from having to actually think about what you are doing and saying. Maybe you need stop being the PC police long enough to actually follow the discussion and fully absorb what Cindi said.
The problem with this thread is that "side effects" of AA cannot be discussed without people flipping out. You have yet to address the issues raised on this thread. To you and your ilk, it''s slaughtering the golden calf, it's blasphemy. Anything anyone says, including the mind-bendingly hateful remark from Cindi, is acceptable. So long as they share your POV?
And, "side effects" refers to unwanted effects. There is a whole LOT of discussion in this forum about side effects (UNWANTED effects) of medication. There are numerous threads on MWO praising the virtues of AA. Yet, the first thing to happen on this thread was people posting that thread should not exist. And now you want to see it shut down.
The thing is, and I CANNOT overstate this: AA kills people. Capiche? It's destructive, it's horribly damaging, it's sick to the very core of the program, and it dominates the treatment industry (you know, all those issues that you are your ilk refuse to acknowledge). So you moan and wring your hands all you like, but I am not going to stop because I make you uncomfortable or because someone's feelings got hurt. The subject is too important because: AA kills people.
I don't know how old you are, but do you remember the rabid feminists in the 60s? They were incredibly confrontational and sometimes not very nice. But they were trying to unseat a socially-accepted norm that was horribly destructive and oppressive - and what they did worked. I'm glad they did not back down to the likes of PC police like you. I intend to follow their lead.
Why don't you just either address the issues raised in this thread or go back to discussions that actually interest you. If you get this thread shut down, I promise to start another. What are you going to do then? Have me banned? The best of luck with that, my dear.

You must have missed Tracy's post about Cindi. I personally find it offensive and unkind.
