AA always kinda creeped me out, the way they do things. I mean, people do need a sponsor to deal with addiction but the whole 12 steps and getting your anniversary tokens seems a bit rote and cultish
It is for brain washing they continulessly tell you over and over again that if you have one drink or hit ever again you will right back where you left off or even worse in your addiction. They literally program a horrible relapse into people, as soon as they have that next drink weak people will think "oh no what have I done? I'm right back where I was, time to go get a handle of liquor". They plant and then reinforce that idea into your mind, they bring it up over, and over, and over, and over, the rest of your life.
