Wrong. And you choose to make negative assumptions and reply to people on a message board which is a waste of time too. Welcome back.
Working better I have much more time to relax, "non drinking."
And I forgot to address the thread title.
I went to a couple AA meetings years ago to see what it was all about. And this is not knocking it, because it does make some people happy. But what I discovered is that its basically a bunch of people who have replaced drinking with coffee, cigarettes, god, and meetings where they indulge in those things.
Being an atheist, non-smoker and only a morning coffee drinker it didn't work for me. Aside from the hearing the alcoholic life stories which are interesting, it just was not enjoyable for me. I do other things like read, art stuff, cook, etc and believe that going to an AA meeting is not going to make someone quit drinking. Well, unless they prefer to hang out with christians while smoking and drinking coffee instead of getting drunk.
