AA is folk medicine bullshit. I go to a lot of meetings and it's mostly garbage. I'm on step 10 and 1-9 made me feel shitty and I can't complain because I'll just be told I did it wrong. I'm trying to get through so I can help people using my critical thinking skills instead of cult tactics and guilt.

I haven't been drinking and I'm trying to get into counseling but it's slow and frustrating.

Staying hammered is my historical strategy and it's very effective until you have to be sober or otherwise deal with another human.

My ex hated AA as well, he had other group therapy sessions through the military which he did actually like though. Are there any other options for you out there currently or is it all AA ?
