Title: The Truth
Product review: I did stop drinking when I went to AA. For that, I will always be grateful. However, after a year or so, after being told that I was "too smart to stay sober," told that friends who drank again were "losers" and to stay away from them, and realizing that my choice to back off on meeting attendance brought threats of dire consequences in my future, I just stopped going.I also realized that the focus on AA as the ONLY treatment method for alcoholics was really standing in the way of finding alternative treatment methods for the majority of people who AA does not help. If any other method of treatment had such a dismal failure rate, it would be retired for some new modality. This is still a mystery to me.It's important to talk about this, to break this grip that the 12 step programs have on the recovery business.
