I'm a tribal citizen and I was unaware that AA borrowed from Indigenous practices, but I did read "The Sober Truth" by Lance and Zachary Dodes. A goldmine of interesting facts about the program, including how the founders borrowed heavily from The Oxford Group https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxford_Group, and that 12-step success rates are a dismal 5% to 12%. Also of significance is the cult aspect. Are some of these readers attacking you like you're insulting their God? There's a reason for that too.
Excellent perspective! I'm happy to follow you and I thank you for sharing.
