Why criticise Alcoholics Anonymous (AA)?
After the drinking stops, the hard part begins. How do you keep your sobriety and not drink again? Alcoholics Anonymous seems to be the only option. What happens after a stay at a hospital detox ward? An expensive treatment facility? Extensive outpatient program? Or individual psychotherapy? AA is the final repository. Everyone is referred to AA.
That's a lot of responsibility to place on a volunteer organization that offers no professional help. It's almost scary. I consider myself an alcoholic in recovery. I also consider myself a member of AA. I've got a few things to say (rantings) about alcohol, recovery and AA. I want to be brutally frank and not sugar coat this. These are rantings because I want to emphasise the problems.
WARNING: Do not read the postings in this blog if you cannot tolerate criticism of Alcoholics Anonymous (AA). Opinions expressed in this blog may be disturbing to sensitive individuals and may lead to the loss of sobriety.

Alcoholics Anonymous consists of a group of people with the common not judge or criticize you as these people are no different to you.

Criticizing AA is like criticizing the weather; it does you no good at all.
