Although there are thousands of criminals still getting away with murder in the 12 step cult religion, here’s some good news
“Orange County and the Greater Los Angeles area are so dense with addiction treatment and sober living facilities that it’s known as the Rehab Riviera.
Over the past several years, the Southern California News Group has chronicled disturbing reports of deaths, sexual assault, drug abuse and paying for patients inside California’s loosely regulated addiction treatment industry. Those reports have prompted federal probes, the Orange County task force that made these arrests, a sober living registry and new state laws designed to protect vulnerable people struggling with addiction.”
Here’s the latest in this short report. https://www.ocregister.com/2020/01/17/5-arrested-in-3-2-million-southern-california-sober-living-home-fraud-scheme/
Predatory bastards + the anguish of people with real problems = a nightmare reality.
I question whether a problem of a drug addict is “real” when it is something the addict him/herself created with their willing, knowing, and voluntary ingesting of the drug. Addiction is not a “problem” as much as it is a SOLUTION to the person that decided to “opt-in” to it, It certainly is NOT the drug’s fault. Inanimate drugs do NOT make decisions!
The longer I am sober the stranger that AA seems. Some of the so called old timers are really in need of therapy. Thanks for the pst.
They’ve hijacked the term sober. Sober just means free from intoxication. Most people are “sober” most of the time.
Indeed! If the 12 steppers version of “sober” or “sobriety” has ANY validity to it, I will “take unrepentant addiction for $1,000, Alex”! (“And through in some of that extra-strength fentanyl, will ya?”)
Thanks for forwarding! Much appreciated….
Only difference between these gangsters and BettyFordHazelden is that BFH gangsters wear better clothes….

Shit. Only 5 arrested? That’s nothing. Florida places are unregulated. It’s a disaster.
Lee County FL., Fort Myers. You can run a ” sober house” with no training, no degree, and no oversight. They’re running them in Naples too. The worst are the ones for women that are coercive, and threatening to participants. People go from rehab to rehab to drum up aftercare business.
Power (for the Wilson clones) and money is what this is all about. It’s a brilliant cult scam with the benefit of perpetual repeat business. It’s despicable.
