re: Drinking beer at an AA meeting

Nice. They just had a nice treatment center open up around your parts. I went and visited it a couple weeks ago.

Have an upvote and thanks for what you do

Well your wife has a leg up on the operators/ leaders of AA because at least she can prescribe medication necessary to combat the physical dependency of chemical withdrawal. 

AA people cannot. 

Pretty simple.

You are correct, withdrawals can kill you. And meds are needed in many cases.

But she discharges patients daily that drink/use within minutes of leaving the hospital.

AA can help reduce those numbers.

I'm Roman Catholic, actually. I was even graduated from a Roman Catholic High School.

I'm opened minded enough to believe in both science and a higher power.

I specifically said, that I’ve seen people stay sober without using AA for one. I’ve just seen less than the numbers I’ve seen in AA. Also did you just attend one meeting? Meetings aren’t the meat and potatoes of the program. I tell sponsees and guys in my house what’s the point of attending a 12 step meeting if you aren’t going to attempt to work the steps. That’s what it’s about and helping the newcomer.

I never wrote that AA isn't good for anyone else.

I wrote that I feel that AA is a cult that provides no medical help; only moral support.

You been drinking or something?

Your experience with AA is too minimal to be credible. I know countless people who have change their lives for the better and stayed sober for decades through going to AA meetings. That’s proof enough that it is a solution.
How do you account for those people?
