My roommates are all in 12-step recovery programs. Two of them download music and movie files from torrent sites nearly 24/7. One of them feels it is unethical to do so, and will only use a pay-per-download service. I’m on the fence about the whole thing. Frankly, I’d love it if they stopped the constant downloading, because it eats up the bandwidth for everybody else in the house.

At my previous university, I happened to be in a dorm room where other students (underage) were consuming alcohol. I personally have never had a sip of alcohol in my life, and while the consumption around me doesn’t bother me, I know it is against the dorm “rules.” The school wrote me up, along with the other students, and forced me to take an AA-type course, with the threat that if I didn’t there would be serious consequences.
What is the legality of having a school force you to take a class? I understand they have their rules, but what legal precedents or statutes apply to this type of situation?

i know its in tulsa, but i dont know where at in tulsa.

She has an obvious drinking problem and my family and friends can see it but she can’t. She doesn’t think she drinks too much at all so she refuses to go. Her drinking has affected everyone in the family and it needs to stop. But everytime I bring up her drinking problem, she, not only denys it, but gets mad and just yells at me for it. Is there a way I can bring AA to her? Please help.

I hate to ask this because I’m purely asking for educational purposes. A class is requiring me to go in order to write a short paper, but I do not want to impose on people who are there for help, and I wouldn’t want to make them uncomfortable by sitting there and watching them during their experience.
My instructor told us nothing about what to expect and the assignment just asks to go through and tell a story of what our experience was, but I was hoping someone could help me out. I’d really and truly appreciate it! Thanks in advance.

I have to attened a AA meeting to fulfill a nursing school assignment. What is it like? I might attened one at a church. I heard that the they teach some religion during the AA meetings. Well anyway, what should I expect?

why do they call it alcoholics anonymous when the first thing you do is stand up and say hi my name is Bob and I’m an alcoholic!
it’s stupid!!

what type of topics are covered in Alcoholics Anonymous meetings? I am supposed to go to 10 of these meetings because of a bogus DUI, and I have no intention of doing so.
They make you fill out a report on the topic covered during each meeting, so what type of topics are covered?
For the record, I AM NOT AN ALCOHOLIC, and I know the first step is admitting you have a problem.

Why is it called Alcoholics Anonymous when the first thing you do is stand up and say, ‘My name is Bob and I am an alcoholic’?
