I'm a recovering alcoholic. I go to AA, but I'm kind of starting to wonder if it's the place for me. I'm not knocking AA in general, I think the idea of it is great. But I feel like I get more help out of therapy and medication. Plus, a lot of people that go to the meetings I go to are sort of stoic, and criticize people who need outside help. I know that's not the way it was intended to be, because AA "technically has no opinion on outside issues (which to me includes psychiatry)." And the big book does talk about getting outside help. But like I said, the people in the meetings think all you have to do is work the steps.

What do many of yu feel or think?
