WHAT IS THIS SITE ABOUT THE AA PROGRAM?
FAQs: Frequently Asked Questions (and answers)
Q: What on EARTH are you talking about? And why?
A: Keep reading….
Q: What is this?
A: It is a Wiki… actually more of a wikiblog.
Q: But what is a ‘Wiki’?
A: (From Wikipedia)
A definition of ‘Wiki’ is:
A Wiki (WICK-ee or WEE-kee) is a website that allows the visitors themselves to easily add, remove, and otherwise edit and change some available content, sometimes without the need for registration. This ease of interaction and operation makes a wiki an effective tool for mass collaborative authoring.
Q: And a blog?
A: A Blog is a type of website, and refers to any number of types of authored regular installments on a particular subject or subjects. Like a journal.
Q: Then a “wikiblog” is …?
A: A combination of the 2 – a collaborative website on a particular theme (like cametobelieve is about recovery and its spiritual aspects). It encourages readers to contribute in any media they choose. Wetpaint was chosen as the host because of ease of use. It’s simple to ramp up and start adding.
To begin with, a dedication quote from c2.com/cgi/wiki (WikiWiki - the mother of all us little Wikis) which explains it all...
"I think there's something more,
but it requires a little excursion from a usual Cartesian worldview to get at.
Start with the LaoTse premise
that self and other are just two ends of an abstraction -
no more magical than left and right
or after and before.
By combining these abstractions
we construe ourselves with respect to the actors and drama of our memories; we make a little story within which to understand what's happening,
and we are motivated by the dramatic forces within this story.”

This thing we create is ours, spiritual and artistic in nature, grounded in truth and beauty for the common good.
