AA has no opinion that someone there is "wrong" or behaved "badly".
Really. You can't be serious.

5: Admitted to God, to ourselves and to another human being the exact nature of our wrongs.
6: Were entirely ready to have God remove all these defects of character.
7: Humbly asked Him to remove our shortcomings.
8: Made a list of all persons we had harmed, and became willing to make amends to them all.
9: Made direct amends to such people wherever possible, except when to do so would injure them or others.
10: Continued to take personal inventory and when we were wrong promptly admitted it.


Fully half of the twelve steps are concerned with defective character aspects, dishonesty, wrongdoing, contrition, reparation for harms committed, and so on. AA appears to be of the opinion that these wrongs and defects of character must be addressed in order that the promise of divine intervention is fulfilled and obsessions to drink are removed.

Welcome to SR, Jimstan, hope you continue to post and that you find what you are looking for too.
