Gratitude is one thing. Self righteousness egotism is quite another.

Look, here's my point. This is an article about AA. AA is perfectly capable of conducting their own meetings with their own rules and traditions - traditions with a single purpose: to help other alcoholics recover from alcoholism.

These are people trying to learn to live sober and repair lives damaged greatly by alcoholism. Only one in ten make it with God's help. Most will end up dead or in institutions with many others harmed along the way.

Quiting smoking is the least of their worries.

Dictating that they must - at this critical moment - also go through nicotine withdrawals, that "they look and smell really disgusting smoking a cigaretter," is stupid, cruel and harmful.
