Funny you should compare this board to an AA meeting. I took Geoffrey Day's comments pretty literally (footnote 90), and while I know he's just describing a catch-22 logic loop that he hopes will lead to his expulsion from the Ennet House (so that he won't have to detox, but also won't have to blame himself for not doing so), I think there's something to the thought that we're *all* addicts--that is, we should all be in AA (or some form of Anonymous). The idea of us all being linked through something, especially for the atheist in me, is profound; we are linked through our humanity, and saved through our empathy. Let this board be our Humanity Anonymous, then.
