Don’t quite have the take on this you do.
I agree that AA comes across as collectivist.
And I do agree that Beck appears to do a large part of his events and TV/radio show as one giant therapy session (for him).
But he’s not creepy. He’s just someone that provides TMI about his problems to his audience.
No it doesn’t. An individual seeks a relationship with his higher power to be relived from the compulsion of alcoholism. The poster does not understand AA and did not watch the show or the coverage, hence he is a troll. You are simply mistaken.
