A world-wide program of attraction, rather than promotion which suggests as 12-step program of recovery. There are no "rules", in the proper sense, and the only requirement to become an AA is the desire to stop drinking.
In recent years, the school of thought which believes that drug abuse has a place in AA has bolstered significantly, and many people with cross-addiction get sober through AA.
It's simple, but not easy. You can't be too stupid for it, but you can be too smart.
It's not for the jelly beans
Members of Alcoholics Anonymous are reminded to always place principles before personalities. Members may be the most of the Big Book that outsiders ever see.
If you wish to drink, that's your own affair. If you want to stop drinking, Alcoholics Anonymous can help.
Alcoholics Anonymous is a good place to go if you want to stop drinking. If you are an alcoholic, its a good idea not to drink.
A cult that people use to get sober. Though stating it is not a religion every meeting has readings, an offering basket, and talks a lot about God. For a lot of people AA becomes the new addiction. The majority of people are full of shit and show up drunk to the meetings and claim they have been sober for 20 years even though they smell like a bottle of cheap vodka.
Instead of just not drinking a lot of suckers think only God can do it for them via Alcoholics Anonymous when in reality all you have to do is not pick up the fucking bottle. The founder Bill W was a massive drug user, sex addict, and was probably drunk more than half the time at AA meetings.
A group of people that sit at the bar all day just a few feet apart, but yet don't know each other.
"Yes, I belong to Alcoholics Anonymous. No one at the bar I frequent knows who anyone else is." We don't talk while we drink, and therefore remain anonymous.
A place where people go to wallow in self-pity and brag about their addictions.
It helps some people stay sober, but only through the superficial validation and amnesty for all of their wrongdoings. People in AA believe that nothing they have ever done is their fault, because they are afflicted with an addiction.

The use of the word "blue" to refer to sexually explicit content was first recorded in Scotland in 1824. "Blue" meant "lewd" because prostitutes dressed in blue gowns.
French slang, which translated, means "bull's fashion" but basically equates to "hyper trendy" or overly trendy. Used when a person wishes to express distaste at the latest fashion trend/fad, because it seems that everyone has a certain item of clothing or is wearing it. This term is most frequently heard in Paris but is slowly spreading to other parts of France.

2. That purple American Apparel hoodie is so fache-couture.
A slang term for GLP-1 medications(like Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, etc.), usually referring to their appetite-killing, weight-loss, or “I forgot to eat” effects rather than the medical details.
Usage:
* Often casual, ironic, or meme-y
* Can imply effortless weight loss, suppressed hunger, or being “powered by pharmaceuticals”
Notes:
Not a brand name—just shorthand for the whole GLP-1 wave. Frequently shows up in online jokes, gym talk, and group chats where people pretend they’re *totally* doing it naturally.
“I’m not dieting, I’m just on that glippy.”
“Ever since the glippy hit, food feels optional.”
“That summer body? Yeah, glippy assisted.”
