Sure, For those that have a diminished capacity and unable to form a judicious independent opinion for themselves, guidance may be necessary.
I thought it was a really good idea to drink on the way to work and always while driving. I also believed they'd never fire me. I thought I only drank because of the wife/job/car/kids/bills. I thought if everyone would just do exactly what I wanted, we'd all be happy. I thought getting up and going to work was the only requirement of a husband/father. I was doing nothing wrong, and it was all perfectly justified in my head.
AA or no AA, no one who is in that shape is in any position to evaluate, analyze, or make any decision beyond where to get the next drink.
