As a condition of my probation I'm being told that I need to go to 90 AA meetings in 90 days. Not just that, but my probation officer expects me to build a community there of people that will give me rides to and from these meetings, and basically make it my life now. I know that AA is close enough to a religious doctrine that the supreme court considers meetings religious services. On top of that, I've been sober since June and have no problem with staying that way. Is this shit legal, and how can I fight it if it's not?
This shit has me fucked up. I'm fundamentally opposed to the ideology of weakness that is AA. If I'm honest in meetings people aren't going to be volunteering to give me rides anywhere. I've already spent $1500 on Uber the past few months getting to this outpatient shit fuckin rehab that I completed already, I can't afford to keep spending this kind of money. I need some advice here, cause I'm starting to have some really bad ideas.
I agree, he needs to consider the cost as part of your fine for your crime. You’re getting off easy. Play the game and get those signatures, be polite and courteous it will be over before you know it.
If true, your 2 hour walk would be 26 minutes. Depends on the route and conditions, but maybe you could buy a nice bike instead of paying uber all the time. Really good exercise too.
Average walking speed: Most people walk at around 3 miles per hour. Average cycling speed: A casual cyclist might travel at around 10-12 miles per hour,
The AI puts it a bit lower, but ride faster instead of casually. Also, can you go to multiple meetings in one day. As an everyday thing, that would suck immensely.
👉 The AA people will steal your bike, so be careful.
I don't know how the system works these days but about 20 years ago I got into some trouble and got court mandated AA bullshit. I forged most of the signatures. I had friends and family sign the forms that I went so the signatures would look different and used a bunch of different pens. Learn the details of the system, then game it to your advantage
As far as it being legal, the PO can give you whatever conditions they want, probation is a privilege not a right so you're fucked there. No idea how much time you have hanging over your head, but if you truly don't want to do their conditions just don't. Go do your time and get off paper. It sounds to me like your PO is setting you up to fail anyway so I'd say fuck it, go get laid as much as you can while out and then mentally prepare yourself for doing some time. If you've never been in, it's nothing like you see on TV. It's mostly just wasting time being bored and ignoring idiots and figuring out who to avoid.

It works better than it should, I've had it write motions for me. It can find obscure laws and you can specify civil, criminal etc as well as include the state you're interested in.
Anything you can ask me, you just ask it the same way, then wittle it down with more questions and instructions. The difference is, it will know most of it and can competently explain it to you without issues.
Honestly, if you think you're mentally capable of withstanding the "MK Ultra" type of head games and have the self confidence required to ride out the term without fear of your environment and a mental relapse, do the time...and if you should decide to not give in and do the time, do so in a manner that sends the message to your parole officer or case worker that you're in control of your decision...don't ever give those in the system the satisfaction of seeing you break or that you're on their leash...and look at the time as a social experiment. I've met a lot of good guys in jail who realized their mistakes and how to not to fuck up next time around and they're very successful criminals today....I'M JOKING I'M JOKING. If you're only looking at a few months do the time, and it'll dry you out.
Yeah, I can give you quite a good advice, just don't go against that shitty PO, and figure somehow how you will drive to AA.
You can use AI for some advice too.
Most states charge jail time (pay-to-stay fees), and I think this can get more costly in the end than Uber. Looking this from Europe, they want to milk as much money as they can with this US jail system.
The other option can be jail, and keep in mind all sorts of people are there - most are such, that here in Europe they would not even got a ticket from police, just a slap on the shoulder, but some are nasty deranged criminals, you can get to watch TV with some murderer or pedophile, and not even knowing it until you will get out. Not a nice experience. I'd rather spent time with bunch of AA group, then for instance with some horrible criminals. Also, if you take any medications for anything, jail can be a bad news. You might get something from jail nurse which you will not be sure if it's what you need, well even doubt is bad enough, let alone if this suspicion is true.
For what I have seen there is a whole system feeding off dudes who will be violating probation or some insane PO orders, like having meetings too far from where you live but not able to drive - I seen this exactly before, it's a trap for somehow violate such rules, and thus to pay more money and be even more in trouble...
Here in Kanastan the system also has provisions for alternating incarceration, ie nights in jail after work shifts or weekends until required time is reciprocated, back in the 80s it was $7.00 per night in jail, in some cases, if a person was financially sound, there was even a $7.00 per day charge for full time incarceration up to 89days.
Wow, sorry to hear this. well, I never got even one serious anything, I learned how to avoid that early... once I got some fee for not using a safe belt, and maybe couple parking tickets, that's it. :)
But I helped a friend in US so he got out of all trouble, and it was like here was in commie times, when commies wanted to bring someone down totally for no reason. Rules that one is just not able to obey, or are very easily broken, like being late for some re-scheduled meeting, not knowing it's re-scheduled. Or if not that, they would wait behind bushes and got a person eventually for driving too fast, to violate some probation or similar. Things like that. One had to always know they wanted to bring person down, and be always smarter and avoid that.
If anything, jails should never be private, or charging for anything I think, it gets abused really fast. Another difference is that we have two different call numbers: one for police and different number is for medical, fire or any other emergency, those are 2 different systems. I was surprised to learn how this is really important and a good thing. If it's only one number, one can end in jail instead of going to emergency unit, just because some unprofessional is picking the call and making a mistake, or worse, do it on purpose.
online options? covid had some positives take advantage if its available.
ask if there is a voucher or x amount of free rides.
If I'm honest in meetings people aren't going to be volunteering to give me rides anywhere.
honest as in you want to call them all niggers or honest as in you dont think they would if you asked? I dont think they'd be allowed to deny you. I wouldnt have them meet you at your house like a few blocks down maybe just to be on the safe side.
If ya don't go the judge will revoke your PR bond and put you in the pokey. Push hard and get it done. This is punishment. Its not supposed to be fun. Good luck.
The way you’ve spent so much time drinking and now dealing with this bullshit.
Now imagine a life where you apply the same amount of time and effort to something fulfilling and meaningful.
If you can sustain this momentum and perseverance, there’s no telling where it can take you. You’ve already got the traits. Just need them focused in the right things.
I'm fundamentally opposed to the ideology of weakness that is AA.
Say exactly that to the people in your stag, men only, meeting and they will understand. Tell them how you enjoy your beer and that America’s anthem is a British beer drinking song (To Anachron in Heaven) and that God gave you a certain amount of alcohol you can consume in your lifetime and you aren’t done yet. Have fun shooting the shit and talking about filthy Israelis. Someone there will eventually tell you how they can fill out your “report card” with all the signatures you need (saying you attended meetings) because they understand your point of view, too. Don’t stress. But have fun and bring your own vibe. Practice your open mic comedy routine. Memorize one of your posts here and add ad lib to better your public speaking and storytelling voice. Get as much as you can from the few meetings you’ll have and become a better man. Then tell them all to fuck off when you got your signatures.
my qualified advice would be to demand a private meeting with the judge and offer him a handjob. maybe he will knock off a couple of the meetings required, maybe he will put you in jail, whose to know.
AA is for weak faggots. I truly cannot respect them for replacing of crutch for another. Overcoming your shit means moving past it to other things - not living in it's absence. Either do your time or eat shit for a couple months, I don't see where you have much option.
I can't fuck face, closet one is a two hour walk. I ain't doing that shit. I've humbled myself quite the fuck enough, maybe you should take your own advice before you go telling someone IRL "fuck your rights" before they humble you, hypocrite.
I've been around AA and people in recovery for about twenty years. I'm not afraid of meetings, I just don't like people trying to bully, scare, or manipulate me. That's their recipe for success, all 5% that do succeed.
When I got a DUI 30 years ago they tried to make me do this too. I told them that I refuse to have religion stuffed down my throat and if that's the case that I want my money back from signing up for their classes and I'll do the jail time. Not another word was said. Just try it and see how it goes. I'm not saying it will work for you Perry, but it did for me.
Really all that they are trying to do is make you spend more money and they all have their hand out. Fuck that...spend a hundred bucks a day on me while I'm in jail, niggers.
