Excuses, Rationalization and Whining

• Q: Wait, this isn't 5 Points AA anymore?    A: Yes, but not exclusively. JAFI and each of the individual AA, CA, HA, DAA etc. groups are all separate organizations. We're friendly with our friends! See our Who We Are page for the details.

• Q: What about those who suffer from grave emotional and mental disorders?                       A: Many of them do recover if they have the capacity to be honest!

• Q: Are these extravagant promises?                       A: We think not!

• Q: What’s the point?  A: The point is that we are willing to grow along spiritual lines.
