No, but that has never been my focus.
My focus has been on the AA program itself, not it’s success stories.
The success stories are a fairly big part of AA. Excluding them is not only biased, its transparently fraudulent.
I don't know who you're shilling for, but beware - the karma for trying to steer alcoholics away from known, effective help is so black, not even demons could survive it.
What I'm saying is, person to person, soul to soul, you've been warned.
Also for some reason you got the impression that I think AA is the only way to sobriety. Nothing could be farther from the truth as I know people who have used alternative methods ranging from acupuncture to just quitting cold turkey with no help from anyone.
AA worked for me and has worked for many but that’s as far as it goes.
I do however steadfastly maintain my strong opinion of an alky returning to “normal” drinking. The fact that this happens to be a AA belief neither bolsters nor detracts from it’s validity for me.
