This is a fairytale take of the REAL authoritarian, fundamentalist "spirituality" of AA.

After much experience with Alcoholics Anonymous, I can honestly say that AA is a religious cult that takes advantage of nulnerable drunks for the purpose of religious indoctrination.
All of that nonsense about choosing "a God of your own understanding" is just designed to get you to hang around long enough to be indoctrinated.
The AA God is a micro-managing diety that punishes alcoholics who refuse to surrender their lives and wills to Alcoholics Anonymous.

A lot of us came to that conclusion, IT, and the pro-AA videos on youtube often get that across more clearly than the critical ones! Check out the films of founder Bill W droning on about his supposed spiritual entightemnment. They were the clincher for me.

I love it. This kind of philosophy made my complicated multi religious childhood into a reliable new God, and that has kept me sober so far for 18 months. As a result, I feel faith and don't control ppl as much and feel happier, and I don't have to worry about dui's and getting fired bc of drugs and alcohol. So is it worth the philosophy of my concept? Absolutely. I am grateful.

I have my own understanding of God and I personally don't care to access the God of my understanding through AA. But for those who do, I'm glad they have found something that works for them. There are also those who are staunch atheists and to tell them that they can have their own conception of God when they believe in no God, is ridiculous. If someone can't relate to a God program, then why not suggest that they find a secular alternative?

This is only a preview. The documentary in its entirety does reference secular alternatives.

Pride is what will destroy a man with drink even unto death. When I drank I was my own God. I didn't need any other God. Alcohol was my God. Before alcohol could completely destory me I found A.A. and found that I wasn't God and Alcohol wasn't my God. A.A. isn't even my God but A.A. has shown me a way to a God of my understanding and kept me sober for 9 years now from being a 5th a day drunk.
