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.
Did you even read your link? It does not say that it's been proven - it says that the question is not settled.
And my point was and is that it is not a moral issue. It is listed in the DSM as a recognized disorder.
Skepticism is not a position; it is an approach to claims.
Science is not a subject, but a method.
