Reply to comment by the-crotch in It's obvious that I need to go to Alcoholics Anonymous, does anyone have advice on how to get started? by [deleted]

Don’t go around spitting this obviously ridiculous rhetoric. AA is the most effective solution by so far it’s incomparable. I’m a proud member and I know a lot of people who’s lives are much better because of it. Ask my daughter and my family if 12 steps don’t work.

I'm not. I'm spouting the results of numerous scientific studies into the subject. Here's two of them.

Citation needed.

Personal anecdotes aren't evidence. I'm happy it worked for you. The science says it works for a very small minority (according to one of the studies I linked, as low as 10%)
