Comment on It's almost impossible to deny being an alcoholic without sounding like an alcoholic

AA is somewhat decentralized, and you will splinter groups.
Also to clarify, 12 step is a process created by the founders of AA. It’s not a separate thing.

The process still involves relinquishing your will power and deferring to an higher/outside power. Incredibly cult like behavior. You should be raising a person’s will power. Hyping the hell out of them.

Oh I absolutely agree, the manipulation techniques used, are still the same ones religions use to control their congregations.
