I didn't say AA doesn't work for many people. It's been proven that alcoholism is not a disease, did you even bother to read the link before calling me ignorant?
Do you really want to know how AA works? It works by force of suggestion, look it up.
If alcoholism was a disease then it would require treatment by a qualified practitioner (ie psychologist) not a 12-step program with a group of people off the street.

"That's disgusting. There were clean athletes out there that have had their whole careers ruined by people like Lance Armstrong who just bended thoughts to fit their circumstances. He didn't look up cheating because he wanted to stop, he wanted to justify what he was doing and to keep that continuing on." - Nicole Cooke
