Give me a break, Don't Get Me Started. AA dogma is not flexible as is claimed, and I have been to plenty of AA meetings. In all AA meeting there will a reference to Jesus, and how important it is to pray, aka beg, for some higher power to empower me. If said higher power was so powerful, why wouldn't they keep me from being an alcoholic in the first place, I wonder. And since relapse happens in AA, I have the following question: Does relapse show that a higher power doesn't care? Or does it mean that a higher power doesn't exist? There is absolutely no empirical evidence that AA is any more effective than any other treatment or support. The whole "it works" claim is a bunch of hogwash!
