Many people have been helped to sobriety through the rooms of Alcoholics Anonymous. However, there are many people whom the program has failed terribly – and many of these failures have been due, largely, to systemic problems of Alcoholics Anonymous.
And while it is important to not only validate, but celebrate the success stories – it is also important to tell the horror stories as well – and to do so in a way that gives proper attention to the systemic problems behind them. This is the only way that we can, hopefully, get Alcoholics Anonymous to address its systemic problems.

Of course, there is way too much there to discuss it all in a single video. This video is merely the first installment of my effort to shed light on the darker side of AA that needs to have a light shone on it. I definitely plan to do more videos in the future to this end.
In this video, I bring up the whole issue about the lack of adequately serious criticism that there is of Alcoholics Anonymous in mainstream discourse. I also give a brief summary of my story with Alcoholics Anonymous.
Of course, even my own story, I could not cover in sufficient depth in just one video – but could only give a brief summary. Furthermore, even at its fullest depths, my story is not even close to being the worst of the AA horror stories.
But a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.
