“We are of the opinion that AA has helped many individuals in their fight against alcoholism, but we include this group because we believe there are other points of view; vital information and experiences that should be shared. The below links use terms we do not use ourselves; deprogramming and brainwashing to name a couple. And we certainly do NOT think that AA fits the BITE mind control model.

If you have an alcohol or drug problem, you should definitely seek out professional help. If you have been attending AA and it has been helpful to you, we do NOT suggest you abruptly stop going and change paths. There are many other successful approaches to helping people with drug and alcohol problems and we intend to add them to this page. If you have information you think should be included please send it to us.”

This is the opening statement on Down’s newest link, not in my opinion, not a wholly damning indictment of AA.

Simply on the road to the good stuff,
