At no time have I ever seen anyone "shove" AA down anyone's throat in this room.
Grant it, there are many personalities in here and some may seem abrasive once in a great while.
People just advise those in need how they are keeping sober. And statistically, it is AA that is keeping many of us sober. If there are other ways that work then God speed. I know that AA, has kept me sober, and because of that I choose to stick with the winners.
