I did not see anything about AA in the article. Perhaps I overlooked it?
And, fwiw, AA has never claimed that it alone has the lock on recovery and sobriety.
I didn’t mention A.A. And you’re right, A.A doesn’t claim a lock on sobriety. It’s just that it’s the most successful self-help group in existence and the first that all others have copied.
True, but there record for successful recovery is FAR better than anything else out there.
