are you sure?  i've heard that it was, but my source could be wrong...
anyway, i just think aa is highly addictive.  i've never experienced it first hand (only through my brother) so my opinions probably don't hold much value next to one who has.  i quit doing drugs on my own.
i just look at aa kind of like an organized religion.  perhaps i'm a bit slanted.

mikehunt:
i must add, yes, it is a step in the right direction... you cannot make a change without action, right?
what're we gonna go for??
REVOLUTION ACTION!

NivekOgre:
The AA I know is very mellow. Just a bunch of people sitting in a room talking in normal voices, no confrontation. They say if you can quit on your own then you're not an alcoholic/addict anyway and don't need to be there. Noone is making any money on the real AA so they are not trying to recruit those who don't need it. The only thing people get hung up on is the God thing but they don't insist you believe in the Christian God, you can choose any God you want.

You're not entirely wrong, you've just got it
backwards. Synanon was a spinoff of AA.

I don't think so. Very different philosophies. Read this link:
