[quote:Anonymous Coward 30628663:MV8yMDkzNDU4XzM1MjQ1NTI2X0MxNUQ4NzU5] At their core, individuals within substance abuse circles struggle to develop healthy relationships. AA is a group of people who struggle with relationships at various levels. No one is forced to attend AA meetings & their is no penalty for making the decision to leave other than the possible guilt one feels upon doing so which is also part of the root of the disease.

Original Message
Someone I am close to is heavily involved in AA and their life revolves around it. Anyone else had this experience? They 'need' to go to meetings, they say, daily. It's a cult which encourages harmful thinking, such as powerlessness and the idea of alcoholism as being incurable. I've been to pick up someone I know from meetings and I get a bad feeling in my gut about many of the members. Many AA members are felons and predators. I don't believe alcoholism is something which is incurable, contrary to the nonsense AA teaches.
