AA Propaganda?


This film is absolutely disgusting. The idea of pitching the 12 step religion as anything other than a dispicable cult (with rehabs as one of their primary recruiting grounds) is totally reprehnsible. If this movie showed anything like the truth, Sandra would have relapsed at the first available opportunity and stayed drunk until she either a) died b) got arrested again or c) gone to a real quit drinking program and sorted her own life out.

I have met 12 steppers and know a lot about the success rates of these places. They do NOT work. Why not do a sequal where we see what happened after she got out of the rehab? We could have her depressed and spending the rest of her life on valium (like all good AA woman) or maybe being "13-stepped" at her first meeting on the out... Or maybe we could show the really bad side to AA!

C'mon people, this film was probably written by someone in AA, is only liked by poeple in AA and is, and this is it's biggest crime, NOT THAT GOOD!!

Who started the B.S. that 'alcoholism is a Disease'?

Why hasn't the medical and science community come out and publicly condemn the misnomer once and for all?
