Every abomination to the Lord, which he hates, have they done unto their gods; for even their sons and their daughters do they burn in the fire to their gods.Deuteronomy 12:31
A Thomas McLellan was born in New York in 1949 and grew up in an age of rapid advances in science and technology which revealed profound truths about the world and promised to relieve man of suffering, cure his diseases, and even resolve the intractable ideological and religious differences at the root of wars and strife. He earned a PhD in psychology in 1976, and took a job at a Pennsylvania VA to study alcoholism. There he saw first hand the suffering of the alcoholics in his care, but at the same time witnessed the miraculous effects of the 12 Step programs that were at the time the only known effective treatment.

Father and son are back together again. They both look good and happy and why shouldn’t they. Hopefully this means they cut Dr. Evil out of their lives. Good riddance!
Regardless of whether addiction is a brain disease or a learning disorder, addicts are compelled to use ever increasing amounts of drugs and then one day they accidentally take too much or combine with other drugs and die. This is the tragedy of addiction. Is it true?
What makes a great actor? One important skill is the ability to believe the part. Actors sometimes practice roles for months to make their performance more authentic. However, what happens when an actor plays a drug addict? What happens when they go around trying to convince themselves they have a disease of the brain that can kill them?
The venerable science journal Nature recently published NIAAA Director Dr George Koob‘s beautifully illustrated science fiction fantasy about drug addiction:
NA thug Johnny Panic was furious at AddictionMyth for exposing the truth about his butt buddy Dan Genis. So he ‘followed’ AddictionMyth on twitter and changed his photo to a ‘Gun & Skull’ as a threat to the blogger. He then tweeted: Just watched “how to get away with murder” it could easily become my favorite new show.

Your RELIGION teaches that drinking causes crimes, thus one must be punished for drinking. That is a RELIGIOUS belief. Again, just punish for the crimes. And yes the laws are precisely what is at issue here. J has a problem that JUDGES are sentencing people to AA. And I’d agree that’s just wrong. But you are so blinded by your fanaticism for your religion that you cannot see it.
The White House Office of National Drug Control Policy (ONDCP) demands the immediate retraction and termination of your irresponsible and dangerous anti-AA propaganda website (‘AddictionMyth’) claiming that all alcoholism and drug addiction is completely fake and all addicts are liars and that AA is a ‘blood cult of mischief’ and a ‘drinking club’ and a ‘sin mortgaging scam’ and brainwashes innocent people to kill themselves. We have received numerous complaints from the public claiming that people have seen your website and refused life saving treatment, and many of those people have overdosed and died. You have completely ignored our numerous complaints and now we must take decisive action to shut you down. Continue reading Psycho Stepper: A Chat with Drug Czar Michael Botticelli→
William James was born in 1842 and grew up in an age of rapid advancements in science and industry that promised to unveil the mysteries of the world and relieve man of his physical burdens. He studied medicine at Harvard and soon was teaching courses in physiology. However he is best known for his contributions to the study of the mind, and is considered the “Father of American psychology”. He founded the philosophical school of Pragmatism, which stated that the truth of a statement is nothing more than the usefulness to the person who believes it (a reversal of our intuitive sense). He applied the newly discovered principles of Darwinism to epistemology: the most useful ideas eventually win out. Continue reading Alcoholism: The Lie Becomes the Truth→
Both Alcoholics Anonymous and ISIS believe that alcohol is evil and makes you do bad things. Of course, ISIS bans alcohol for that reason. But they are raging hypocrites, and their leaders engage in all the prohibited ‘evils’ including drinking, drugs, rape, and homosexuality, while forbidding those behaviors to the masses.
