Today I choose not to (or to) take a drink, but 14 plus years ago I was a practicing alcoholic with no choice. AA/NA helped me get to the point I am at now. Over the years I have known and seen many people die that just could not get it.
I am in no way saying anyone else should not drink or that AA is the only solution I am saying it was mine.
I don't care when people that have no experience with AA put it down but when I hear blanket negative statements quoting "stats" and demanding stats of AA's success I get irritated.
AA has no stats due to the simple fact that they are ANONYMOUS there is no record keeping. They do not claim any success rate. I can tell you they help many more than they hinder and all that fail do so by choice.
