I have seen people get periods of sobriety but I regretfully doubt that anyone with decades is telling the truth. If they are I doubt they were alcoholic to begin with. Even the founders continued to experiment with drugs.
I've been in AA for decades but I have never had any substanial amounts of time, and the revolving door of AA is all too real. Most people stick around for 2 years or so then disappear. Who knows if they are drinking or not.
That being said, I think I would be dead if it wasn't for AA. It has kept me sober for longer stretches than I could have accomplished on my own.
Is it normal to think Alcoholics Anonymous does not work?
