Keep in mind that any 75% success rate that AA boasts was a figure from the days when we separated the wheat from the chaff. Not just anybody could waltz into AA for any reason at any time like they do now. Also today there is a misconception that AA is all about meetings and nothing but meetings because any step is a "Suggestion" which means thay're optional and we an slogan each other into sobriety and our "inner child" plays a big role in our drinking.
Just because the 12 steps are somewhere on the wall and it's on the schedule doesn't mean there's any "AA" actually going on. It's "AA" in name only. It's just like last year when Lynard Skynard came to town.
Back to the subject at hand. If anybody can show me a "Cure" like the title claims, I'll kiss their a$$ on Main Street. "Cure" means to make a normal drinker out of an alcoholic and it can't be done.
As far as quitting? Anyone can quit at any time. "Program" or not!
