also he says; the group will not tolerate any use.

perhaps you should work on your reading comprehension bc this is refering to alcoholics anonymous. and i am 100% certain it is true.

still, i will maintain that if you show up at ga they will not tolerate your poker playing. these sort of support groups have circular reasoning. since you are showing up at ga you are a gambling addict. therefore you cannot engage in gambling. if you dont agree you are in denial. after all, you are at ga.

at least this is how aa is.

The aa idea is that if you can drink socially, good for you. If it's not causing you problems, then do what you want to.

But if alcohol is causing you problems, and you want to stop drinking, there is a way. That is the program of aa.

now subsistitute gambling for drinking.
