I just read the Amy is getting into Buddhism, that explains why she seems more centered. The meditation and chanting helps you to calm and center you, as good as she is I am sure she goes into deep meditative states when singing. Now she can work on disciplining her mind.

Re: Nonbreeder – Sounds like you are pretty defensive about the whole AA thing. Calling it a cult is ridiculous. AA is a program of attraction not promotion. You will not see TV commercials for it, though a hugh percentage of medical and psychiatric professionals recommend it as the way to sobriety. I myself am a medical practitioner and have worked in some of the best hospitals in America (in Boston) so I am speaking from experience. Of note, that is also why so many AA groups meet in hospitals. AA requires no donations. AA has no political affiliations or opinions on issues not pertaining to alcoholism. Sound like a cult yet? Well AA does mention a higher power but your higher power can be a rock or anything else. The serenity prayer does say god which I refrain from saying and many meetings end with the Lord's Prayer which I do not recite. These are for my own personal religious reasons and I am no less a member of AA because of it. So where is the cult? Live and let live would be a nice way for you to go. If I were guessing, you tried AA, got freaked by the higher power thing or perhaps you don't play well with others, in either case you sat there and posted with your box of wine going and chose to pick on AA. By the way people should know your "name" nonbreeder is to indicate you are gay (like myself), by adding non to a term from years ago that offensive gays used to describe those who are not gay.

Re: Nonbreeder – You tool, the CDC is primarily concerned with communicable diseases. The AMA defines alcoholism as a disease and addiction which results in a persistent use of alcohol despite negative consequences. With respect to substance abuse the APA refers to it as a syndrome with a constellation of symptoms and causes both physiologic and yes behavioral. With respects to AA statistics are difficult given the anonymous nature of the program. It is true that 5% of "abuse" drinkers will get sober on their own. AA has a high attrition rate, especially in the first year, nobody can deny that. Also the Chocran review of 8 studies is perhaps where you got the info that AA is equal to other programs but the final recommendation of that review was that more studies need to be done. Of note another study showed that the average length of sobriety in AA was 8 years sober and this represented 36%, with much larger percentages going to less lengths of sobriety. All I can say is I never mentioned AA in my original post (although I said take it one day at a time, which leads people to think of AA). It is you who has the bug (or perhaps someone's fist up your ass.

If you are British and can understand what Amy is saying please translate for us. I am rooting for you Amy, looks like she is finding her love of Music again, when you are around kids or people who are fresh and not jaded it inspires. Her niece seems very mature for 13..

Its a shame that kid has a truly forgettably average voice, and the stage presence of a door knob.
