Some of the best friends in our fellowship started as court ordered. I am glad to have them - it has saved lives and given some an opportunity they may have not otherwise had.
AA works for those who want it, do step work and engage with others is what I've experienced. For those who choose not to do step work, many soon have difficulty sharing experiences about the program as they really have none. Good groups discuss the literature and don't stray much into "group therapy" type meetings - there are other venues for that.
Sobriety is a personal journey and one should find their own individual path. If we cross in the rooms I will kindly greet you as a friend, regardless of how you got there or how long you stay.
Best,
Fly
