If these techniques are so effective then how come you've never met a recovered alcoholic who no longer needs to attend AA?

For the same reason the best poker players hang out on 2+2... support! [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

Be serious now you know the difference. We hang out at 2+2 because it's something we enjoy doing. AA members never leave because the very program breeds a sense of weakness and dependence. They push a strong message that you are powerless to help yourself and that if you leave the program ,that's leaving AA not leaving god, that you will invariably return to drinking.
