Nope, the more I think about it, the more clear it is. BLF is not a flashaholic meeting.
For example, those “holic” programs are anonymous. It’s right there in the name, Whatever-a-holics Anonymous. But everyone here uses their real names.
People here don’t spend fortunes on things they don’t need, to satisfy an irrational inner craving.
We don’t make abstinence vows or congratulate each other on resisting the urge.
Outsiders never poke fun at us or compare us to cults.
We don’t even have a 12-step ramp program where people place their faith in a goddess higher power to deliver them from the darkness.
There’s really no resemblance at all.
