AA has language like dry drunk which perpetuates their wrong-headed ideology, like any cult. Reminds me of how Scientologists use the term 'squirrels' (different idea, but another example of cult language). Bill Wilson is not the final word on addiction. Addiction is not a lifelong inherent flaw, but something that can be cured. Repeating the notion that "addiction is a difficult, lifelong problem, which cannot be cured" is a method of mind control which does more harm than good, because it disempowers people.

cult
Noun
-A system of religious veneration and devotion directed toward a particular figure or object.
-A relatively small group of people having religious beliefs or practices regarded by others as strange or sinister.

Before anybody goes to any 12 step group, they actually tried to use their own "power" hundreds of time, and use the notion that they could stop it on their own, before they finally get to the point of admitting that they cannot stop on their own, and need a new idea or act in order to surrender their addiction.
Any 12 step group will actually tell you)(the healthy ones), that the notion of a higher power can be anything you want it to be, and that it's not your job or your place to tell anyone else who or what their notion of a higher power should be nor do you tell anyone who or what to be.
You simply take care of yourself.
But look at you here. You think it is okay to play expert and claim that it is you who think you know how your friend, AA, or anyone in there should think, be, live, and you are also here calling something you know NOTHING from real life experience about, other than from reading some articles or testimonials and at the same time feeling angry and frustrated that your "friend" is living a life that you have no control nor business in changing.
I take it that you are partly a control freak who needs to have it your way in the way things are supposed to be and that is what gives you esteem.
It's so clear that you are closed minded, because if you were open minded you would let your friend be, find his way through his life and stay away from other people's business which is what you cannot do most of your time anyway.

If any addict or alcoholic, need to find a group AA or 12 step, etc, in order to stop destroying themselves, and that is what gives them a certain power force, even if it comes as a group and that is what can help them over come an issue of Self-will that they cannot on their own overcome, the SO FUCKING BE IT.

Your just projecting your own shit on your friend and need to find a way to vilify these people to prove your own selfish controlling point.

In the end, it doesn't matter what you think, because truth will always prevail. Truth and love will always prevail and if you can actually sit through any 12 step process, you will see how much more in truth you live and then you will finally shut up and maybe take yourself on a hypnosis or NLP session and cry like a baby in fetal position when you get into your own issues.

You annoy me, but you have a place in the world. You help me remember there will always be different thought forms and allot of ignorance.
