the hell're you crying about? you know its not true. everyone knows i dont knock, i just bust shit up.

but as for factions, i wanna start a league of champions. i'll be the world heavyweight super awesome terrific ultra stud champion. if that makes sense.


ok, i got that out the way. i swear to god this better post. if not its fine cause its stupid anyway, but that just means i wont be posting here. if anyone can see this, "hi girls."





speaking of girls (meaning women...which reminds me, funny pedophile story to tell you guys which proves im not a pedophile. i guess i wont need a story. bottom line, i worked at disney for a month and havent made the news yet. as far as i go, thats proof enough. i think we all know, if i make impact, i make it quick and hard. "3/11 massacre sound familiar.) anyway, as far as girls go, are there any here yet.

actually i dont care how old, cause this is the internet and i can do what i want.
-sen. larry craig.

but enough jokes (i also could've said larry sinclair, AM I RIGHT, TB!?). my new favorite thing about disney is the brazilian tour groups. we get atleast 4 a day. theyre either really hot girls that love stitch gloves, or really energetic charismatic guys who dont mind sharing. i was in like 87 pictures with those damn gloves. i love them. so...my first post is gonna be a long one. probably to make up for lost time and future time that will be lost.


....DAMN tthose chicks are hot. AND OF AGE! i think. atleast they are in brazil.
also, theres a store where we can get old merchandise or damaged new goods (which just means the tag was ripped off) for 10 to 75% off. someone bought one of the beds from the snow white ride and made a coffee table.

ok, no more useless crap. end post here. thank you for reading my official inauguration to the NNARA(i guess " new new ara) thank you, ship it, stay pretty(not a new catch phrase) and 5000!

Here you go Goz.

History of Alcoholics Anonymous
By 1934, alcoholic Bill Wilson had ruined a promising Wall Street career with his constant drunkenness. He was introduced to the idea of a spiritual cure by old drinking buddy Ebby Thacher who had become a member of a Christian movement called the Oxford Group. Wilson was treated by Dr. William Silkworth who saw alcoholism as an illness, a mental obsession and an allergy rather than a moral failing. [5] While in Towns hospital under Silkworth's care, Wilson claimed a spiritual experience while undergoing an unorthodox drug cure developed by Charles B. Towns and Dr. Alexander Lambert, which included Deliriants in its formula.[6] He became convinced of the existence of a healing higher power and he was able to stop drinking. On a 1935 business trip to Akron, Ohio, Wilson felt the urge to drink again and in an effort to stay sober, he sought another alcoholic to help. Wilson was introduced to Dr. Bob Smith, and Smith claimed to have found sobriety through spirtual and religious means.

Wilson and Smith co-founded AA with a word of mouth program to help alcoholics. Smith's last drink on June 10, 1935 is considered by members to be the founding date of AA.[7] By 1937, Wilson and Smith determined that they had helped 40 alcoholics get sober, and two years later, with the first 100 members, Wilson expanded the program by writing a book entitled Alcoholics Anonymous which the organization also adopted as its name. The book, informally referred to by members as "The Big Book," described a twelve-step program involving admission of powerlessness, moral inventory, and asking for help from a higher power. In 1941 book sales and membership increased after radio interviews and favourable articles in national magazines, particularly by Jack Alexander in The Saturday Evening Post. By 1946, as membership grew, confusion and disputes within groups over practices, finances, and publicity led Wilson to write the guidelines for noncoercive group management that eventually became known as the Twelve Traditions. AA came of age at the 1955 St. Louis convention when Wilson turned over the stewardship of AA to the General Service Board.[8] In this era AA also began its international expansion, and by 2001 the number of members worldwide was estimated at two million.
