I also find it interesting when people dismiss AA or NA without any knowledge of it. However I simply read through the traditions and remind myself that we should focus on attraction rather than promotion. Whenever anyone asks about a recovery method/program on this forum I simply mention that I attend NA but also advise looking at Smart/AVRT because in my opinion if I start throwing NA at them then all I am doing is promoting the fellowship which is something I wouldn't do as part of the traditions.
However if someone asks me about NA specifically I am happy to tell them about it in detail and answer any questions they have with the knowledge that I have of the fellowship and the way the program works.
Natom.
