The Real AA: Behind the Myth of 12-Step Recovery

I could not more fundamentally disagree with the premise of a book than I do with this one. I tried to come into it with an open mind, really I did, but I think I am too far gone in my indoctrination into sober living. My life was fucked. Then I got into AA and got sober. What is wrong with that?

I have the humility to believe that I might be wrong, but all the evidence suggests that I am not. I haven't picked up since 2005 and attend AA intermittently.

I'd recommend Russell Brand's book Recovery. I'm reading it alongside this one. If this book is about chalk, Russell's is about cheese. I choose cheese.
