I think it's more about making sure their resume doesn't contain gaps while they job-hunt. A few might be looking to "cash in", but the smarter ones have to recognize this for what it is. Eventually the money trucks are going to stop coming. Their band of 1,000 cultists aren't going to be able to pony up 100k every month.
What is your reasoning for saying this? If sucking dicks gave you cancer, pretty sure you wouldn't go around saying "whose dick do I have to suck to get a coffee around here!?!" and "whose dick do I have to suck to get some pills around here!?!"
There are various means of defeating addiction, not just those that require one to 'submit to a higher power', as was your absurd implication.
I can see how I could come across as absurd, if you didn't know that I was speaking from my own experience for what worked for me (which includes witnessing others in my same space working / not working toward the same goal) - I never once said it was the only way, and surely other people beat addiction in many different ways. My whole point really is that his phrasing was a little strange, and coupled with his well being in that video, it made me do a double take. Anywho, I don't wish him any ill will, and hope he can produce a game we all want to play. I'm just not footing the bill for it.
You can't really play the "I never once said it was the only way" card when you say "Any recovered (recovering) addict or alcoholic that is actually putting in the work to get clean and stay clean will tell you a statement like that is reserved for those people who either aren't "getting it" currently, or never will." You said "any."
Because these guys are trying to treat this like a job rather than a work of passion. They want to see them money before they start working.
