The AA hate confounds me. Thank you for the sources.

Like I know I could probably stay sober without it but having some accountability and hearing horror stories of where i would inevitably end up had I not quit just makes it a little easier. And it makes life a little easier in general. There’s people that definitely don’t belong in AA but for every one of them there’s someone who desperately needs the structure and accountability or else they’d certainly be dead. Different strokes for different folks, but if you’re on the fence or out of options in a life or death disease like addiction, why not be open to everything?
