I don't see how people can't see the similiarities between a religious service(meeting) and an AA meeting. In my home group the first thing we say is the serenity prayer and the last thing we say is the lords prayer, and you can see the 10 commandments in the 12 steps without looking to hard. After 3 years of sobriety I'm only beginning to realize just how powerful addiction to chemical substances is. Sadly the success rate for total abstainence for life is less than 10% no matter what kind of program is used. I am rootin for all of those that put out an honest effort to quit drink.
