Ex Scientologist Message Board

AA is the only court-mandated cult in America; Alcoholics Anonymous survives because so many people are sent there after a DUI conviction and there are enough hangers-on to keep it going. However, there are odd subsets of AA - for example, there is a place somewhere in the American Northeast where generations of people have been going to AA meetings their whole lives! The anonymous author of this piece, "Tom", calls the place "Serenity Ridge"; it is a cult compound run by the possibly drunk "Tim T."
