Dave, the people I have known who went to AA meetings always drank first, just to get through it. Or got high. It's a beast of a disease and his simplistic answers sound like bullshit.

Agreed. My late ex-wife went to meetings and died of late stage liver disease. I've known some folks who benefited from AA and are still sober 10 or 20 years on but the will has to be there. Antabuse plays no favorites; if you take it and drink alcohol you pay a heavy price.

I am sorry you lost your wife to it. It's too hard for a lot of people who suffer from it.
Thanks. People who haven't experienced it only rarely can appreciate the nature and impact of addiction.
Truer words haven't been written here in awhile, Dave.
Thanks Tom.
Some try but canтАЩt
Not "some." Most.
Sadly true, but we sure hear more about those who donтАЩt. No mystery why.
My uncle belonged & benefited from AA - never stopped going! I guess it does work well with some people - not always tho.
A beast but not even on a par with cult nuts
AA is a cult.
It can be. It can also be two people who believe in sobriety.
And see a path
Belief.
Not so much a path as possibility as opposed to impossibility. Like is this really the way i want to die?
I have seen two choose that
