We, the People, have found that in our collective experience, that the outdated, “religious” methods of Alcoholics Anonymous is not as effective as the more modern, empirically proven programs .
Federal and State courts have held that coerced participation in 12-step programs like AA and NA violates First Amendment rights. Those that come on their own go through a guilt ridden, cult like indoctrination and are forced to practice religious like behaviors.
Alcoholics Anonymous does not police itself against its followers and members, failing to protect members against violent offenders and sexual predators. The fellowship holds a position of a “blind eye towards sexual abuse and predatory behavior. http://www.orange-papers.org/
