You don't know about AA, do you?

I know they get preachy but you can ignore that, many alcoholics get help from them without joining the cult of Christianity

You have a better grasp of them than the people down voting you.

AA has done a lot to separate itself from religion in the past couple decades. But if you pay close attention, they use the exact same manipulation techniques used by religions to control their congregations.

That said, AA does a LOT of good, and in my opinion they do genuinely have the best interests of their members at heart.
