That's just being contentious.
I have a different take on things spiritually and yes that makes it difficult to find support and a community of like minded people. Yet the reality is AA works for some people but it doesn't work long term for most, the statistics back me up on that... So I'd rather not debate honestly.
Then don't post provocative comments and then jettison your responsibility for making them based on the responses you get.
I have some mostly minor pet peeves about all programs of recovery, including AA and my own field of practice, but I see no point in commenting on them since doing so helps no one, and could possibly and adversely color a new person's thinking about any particular type of recovery method. I'm much more comfortable supporting the freedom that people have to arrive at their own conclusions.
We're all responsible here for what we say.
