AA, not the only program that works
This morning I just met someone who admitted he is in recovery but does not follow AA or 12 steps. He is 13 years sober too. It pleases me to hear that others succeed without AA as this was one of my main struggle with AA: The concept that AA was the ONLY solution. Although I go to AA myself, I could not understand nor could I agree with the concept. I felt it was false and presemptuous and even dangerous at times.
