I don't get why people knock NA/AA, especially recovering addicts. It works for some people, if you don't like it then cope with your addictions on your own and become a dry drunk or drug addict white-knuckling your way through sobriety. It just seems like some militant atheists reject it outright because of some of the spiritual aspects of it.


Personally, i've seen it benefit a lot of people positively, and i've had people tell me that it completely changed their outlook on life and the way they live it. I'm talking about hardcore heroin addicts, people who I would've bet money that they wouldn't live to see thirty, completely turn their lives around and are now succesful, happy and sober credit NA with helping them achieve content sobriety. Now they in turn help other people to get clean and stay clean, what's wrong with that?


That orange papers writer just comes off as a bitter jerkoff. I only skimmed the site but I didn't see him offering any alternative to NA/AA or providing any kind of positive message to anybody who might be trying to recover. The only thing I noticed him say was that "people should try to get some other treatment", nice advice.
