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.

Bullshit you sound like a drinker not ready to stop?

It is not a cult....powerlessness as in not being able to stop drinking alcohol on one's own. But with help from one's friends in the same boat and a Higher Power what ever that is to the individual person.....the idea is there is something greater than the individual human. And that greater thing is what saves the drinker.

You sound like me about 25 years ago when I realized I should probably stop drinking and a friend invited me to an AA meeting and I sounded like you.

25 years later I am through the grace of God my Higher Power alcohol free and I feel fine. I have stopped going to AA about 12 years ago and rely on Spiritual guidance from the Christian God and his Christ.

If you are really sincere bout your friend not being you.....go to Alanon, it is for the friends and spouse of an alcoholic. Keep in mind if a loved one is the drinker that is stopping..lots of times the positive change of the alcoholic is shunned by loved ones. The reason being the boat is rocked and upsets an already f'd up balance in life.

Good Luck
