    I read that AA has an 8% success rate. It didn’t work for me.

      Someone very close to me was an atheist alcoholic who went into AA. The mental gymnastics that went into getting around all the “higher power” stuff to somehow make the program effective was horrible to see. I wish it wouldn’t get pushed as a real option for alcoholics in the US, especially for those people actively asking for help.
