Question by Jack: Is AA a destructive cult?

Best answer:

Answer by bettyboop
Kidding–right?

AA is a ‘spiritual’ program. It’s how you look at YOUR Higher Power. The name God is not mentioned unless the AA member talking, DOES believe in God. AA members talk– and that’s all–and BELIEVE ME! You can find out why you do or did some of the things you do, from talking and listening to others.

In MY instance, I went to Al-Anon, which is friends and family of alchoholics. It teaches you that YOU are not the reason for the alchoholic’s problem. It comes also, from talking and listening. It was one the best things I ever did to get back my self esteem.
My dad and my ‘ex’ were both drinkers.

AA is NOT a cult. It is one of the best things you can do for yourself AND your friends and family.

VERY eye-opening! I recommend those twelve steps tremendously!
