Dogs in Recovery

Does your dog have a drinking problem?

AA is here to help!

These are the words you may soon be reading

from a new pamphlet proposed by board members

of an extremely popular Alcohol Recovery Organization.

The General Service Organization of Alcoholics Anonymous, 

in an excess of proselytizing fervor, has recently been attempting 

to reach out to more and different types of people who might benefit 

from involvement with the fellowship and the 12 steps of AA.

 Although most AA members deny that the organization engages in 

any activities that could be considered "promotion", AA has been 

famous for "carrying the message" with evangelistic zeal ever since 

Alcoholics Anonymous was founded by Billandbob in 1935.

Men, women, young and old, the hospitalized, the incarcerated,

those on probation, all of these groups have been targeted by 

the GSO for several decades. More recently, AA has sought 

to draw the younger problem drinker, those in High School, 

and invites even Middle School students to join its ranks.

Has AA gone too far?

This secret gathering in the basement of the First United

Methodist Church of Dogwood, Virginia, is thought 

to be a meeting of Alcoholic Anonymutts 

Rumor has it that in the near future, AA will no longer 

limit its proselytizing to members of the human race. 

According to an independent study, the incidence 

of problem drinking among canines is on the rise.

Alcoholics Anonymous will undoubtedly be ready 

to exploit this latest source of potential converts. 

At almost every meeting, AA members take a personal vow 

that the hand of AA will always be outstretched to any who 

might benefit from involvement in the 12 step program.

Anonymous members reach out to a dog in need.

The unproven, faith-based steps suggested on the pages of 

the Big Book of AA have proven to be inadequate at best, 

and are believed to be harmful by many former members.

Narcissistic older members frequently abuse 

and attempt to control the newcomer.

Romantic relations between a newly sober dog and 

her sponsor often results in relapse for  both of them.

Please, even if your veterinarian recommends AA, 

don't allow Your dog friends to become involved 

with this potentially dangerous organization. 

Any canine newcomer, regardless of age or gender, 

may be vulnerable to exploitation.

"Recovery" should not mean "Red Light District".

Spread the word among your canine friends that AA can do more harm than good.

If you know of a dog with a drinking problem, look for an alternative treatment. 

There is a light at the end of the tunnel.

Don't give up. Your dog can find the help he needs.

Alcoholics Anonymutts is not the only game in town.

If anyone suggests that your dog "work the steps" 

or tries to lure him into going to meetings, 

just say to them calmly, but firmly,

"Stay away from my Dog!"

Thanks!
