These claims, that AA claims to be the only way but now there’s a new miracle cure, crop up every few years.
I’ll stick with what works for me.
Best wishes to anyone trying to quit drinking, whatever works for them.
Maybe the author thinks that other options will be taken seriously if she first tries to demolish AA. Kind of like Obama and the fact that every tedious lecture begins with demolishing a straw man.
Same result, the author ends up looking petty for making a take-down of AA look like her prime motive, rather than providing objective info on other options.
You have to admit, AA does play "heads I win, tails you lose" quite a bit.
It's like being "saved." If you stick with it, you are. If you fall away, you never were.
The only thing beyond question to devotees is the validity of the salvation "formula" to which they subscribe.
I hear you.
