Yet your initial post speaks of demons (implying that you believe in God).
So, I remind you: God and demons have never been proven.
Yet they work for you.
So does AA, and God, for me.
Q.E.D.
Many people get sober in AA by substitution their addiction to alcohol to an an addiction to meetings and the comfort and freindships they find there. Not the same thing as an authentic spiritual awakening.
If you are happy with the brainwashing you find in AA, by all means continue.
I was not happy with a program that promotes things that are not true and is “gay friendly”.
