Thanks for your comment re: AA. It saved my Grandfather's life and allowed him to do great things for our family and others. The day we buried my Grandfather, several grown kids of former alcholics showed up to praise him for saving them from a horrible childhood growing up with drunken parents. He used to get calls in the middle of the night from those he was sponsoring and off he would go to help keep them sober, or help to keep them from hurting their wife or kids.
I think the MSM hate AA and would love to discredit the good it has done because of it's strong reference to a higher power (or GOD). They just can't deal with anything that smacks of religion.

Thank God there were folks like your grandfather who helped those of us new in sobriety. His gratitude is obvious in how he was of service to those who needed him. God rest his soul.

Marica Ferri of the Italian Agency for Public Health in Rome, who found little to suggest that 12-step programs reduced the severity of addiction any more than any other intervention, was unavailable at the time to take any of those middle-of-the-night calls, and could not be reached for comment.

Cordially,
