In my experience AA tries to exchange ones addiction to alcohol to an addiction to religion. I’ve noted the most feverously religious people I know became that way after AA. Religion preys on the most susceptible.
Also switches out alcohol for sweets. I’ve been to a couple meetings and they always had cookies, cupcakes, and other sugar replacements because they aren’t drinking anymore.
They also only talk about alcohol and the times they used to drink. It makes me want to drink more. I need a distraction from the topic of drinking, not to be reminded of it.
