It depends, but I do agree, to a point, about the predatory statement. I went to a version of AA when my ex-wife was drinking heavy, for Families of Alcoholics. While I did find it helpful to at least hear other's similar experiences and how they dealt with them, I also noticed a least a few guys there to take advantage of and pick up women.
One woman, a cultured, gorgeous, Manhattan blonde, got asked out her first night at at meeting. I thought, jeez, at least let her attend a few weeks before you try to jump on her. Best thing was, I ended up being good friends with her.
For the drinker themselves, I still feel it's entirely up to them to stop. They need to hit rock bottom and realize..This just isn't working.
Is it normal to think Alcoholics Anonymous does not work?
