“90% of the people who attend the Twelve Steps Meetings don't really understand the Twelve Steps!”
Are you part of the 10% or the 90%?!
It's not an exaggeration! I've attended many 12 Step Meetings and I am surprised how few of the attendees really know the accurate or deeper meaning of the Twelve Steps.
Do you know:
-
How Bill Wilson really wanted to write Step One?
-
What is the Cause & Effect of Addictive Behavior?
-
What really is the meaning of Unmanageability?
-
What is "Sanity"?
-
What are our "Will and our Lives"?
-
What's the difference between "Wrongs", "Defects of Character" and "Shortcomings"
-
What's G-d's Part in Recovery? What is our part?
-
What "muscles" do we need to exercise to Recover?
-
Once we're sober, how do we stay sober?
-
I'm a Frum Jew! What the heck can Bill Wilson teach me about Prayer?
-
Do I really need a Sponsor? Do I really need a Sponsee?
-
What really is the GOAL of the 12 Step Program?
Join us on the Monday Noon Call - beginning July 10 - and all week to get answers to all these questions!

Prevention |
Pornography and Children |
|
See https://protectyoungminds.org/2015/10/29/pediatricians-speak-out-on-impact-of-porn/ for the full article
By GYE |
Read the complete statement by American College of Pediatricians here:
How Does Pornography Negatively Affect Children?
These are a few of the effects referenced and cited in the paper:
- Pornography exposure at these young ages often results in symptoms of anxiety and depression.
- Children also report feelings of disgust, shock, embarrassment, anger, fear, and sadness after viewing pornography.
- Children under twelve years old who have viewed pornography are statistically more likely to sexually assault their peers.
- Children exposed to pornographic material are at risk for a broad range of maladaptive behaviors and psychopathology.
- For young people, viewing sexually explicit websites increased the likelihood of having more than one sexual partner in the last three months and for using alcohol and drugs during sexual activity.
To sum it all up, kids suffer negative effects from exposure to and use of pornography in the following ways:
- Kids are mentally disturbed by the violent porn they view and may become addicted to it.
- Many children end up imitating the sexual violence they see with their peers.
- Pornography teaches false ideas about human sexuality which impacts a child’s future ability to enjoy stable, authentic and intimate relationships.
- Pornography use destabilizes and destroys marriages. The negative effect of divorce on children is well-documented.
