Do you agree that AA is a cult and that alcoholism is not a disease?
Question by : Do you agree that AA is a cult and that alcoholism is not a disease?
And before you go into saying I don’t know what it is like. Just to let you know I had two DUIs in two years and between the ages of 17-24 I would get hammered almost every day(still go through college with a 3.33 GPA though). I had to go to AA for three months and I never wanted to drink so much in my life, sobered up on my own 4 years ago but still have a drink here and there with out ending up in jail, institutionalized or the grave like they say.
Only 5% of people in AA stay sober for a year or more and that is the same percentage as people who quite on their own. It is ineffective. And that it only works if you work it line is B.S. through and through, it is the same line faith healers use when someone they treat dies. Plus only the AMA considers it a disease not the WHO. The AMA only did that when they needed to so insurance companies would cover rehab which is a multi billion dollar a year industry. That is why 28 days is the standard duration of “treatment” because that was the most the insurance companies would pay for that back then. Also something cannot be a disease when the cure is simply to stop doing it. You cannot simply stop doing cancer.

I have only seen my parents drink a couple of dozen of times and have no drunks in the family and I was a hardcore booze hound. I just learned to do it in college by being around so many people who did drink.
No BANNIBAL you cannot cure diabetes with not eating sugar. Do you know what diabetes is? It is the inability of the body to produce insulin or the tolerance the body gets to insulin. Sugars come from many things any type of grain, fruit or vegetable. You cannot live on just meat, although I wish I could. As for the government considering it a disease, In 1988, the US Supreme Court upheld a regulation whereby the Veterans’ Administration was able to avoid paying benefits by presuming that primary alcoholism is always the result of the veteran’s “own willful misconduct.” The majority opinion written by Justice Byron R. White echoed the District of Columbia Circuit’s finding that there exists “a substantial body of medical literature that even contests the proposition that alcoholism is a disease, much less that it is a disease for which the victim bears no responsibility”.[30] He also wrote: “Indeed, even among many who consider alcoholism a “disease” to which its victims are geneticall
