First time I heard this in a meeting I sort of got sick to my stomach. Was one of the first of several hypocrisies I came across in the step literatures. I do tend to over analyze the crap out of everything. If AA makes you happy good for you. I'll find my own reality. I do get quite angry when it is adamantly sold as the one and only true path to sobriety.
