Many people get sober in AA by substitution their addiction to alcohol to an an addiction to meetings and the comfort and freindships they find there. Not the same thing as an authentic spiritual awakening.

Maybe it's in your book, but what is your definition of addiction? I have developed an interest in shape note singing and I try to participate in it as much as I can. An I addicted to singing?

Did it take you 30 years in AA to figure out how wrong it is?

No, I used to try and go to help people even though I knew that much of the “teaching” is false.
