My understanding is that they encourage a recognition of a “higher power”, which doesn’t have to be God or a religious concept.
AA isn’t perfect but it has helped an incalculable number of people get sober. It isn’t going to work for everyone but it has worked for a lot of people.
Addiction is such a complex and individual affliction there is never going to be a generic method that works for everybody. But I think AA does help a lot of people, and should be recognised for that while still acknowledging its flaws.
I only know about AA from movies and tv. Why fuck them?

Are you sure you didn’t feel helpless because of withdrawal?

maybe because most alcoholics are garbage?
AA has been credited with saving thousands of lives and families.
