AA groups? Is that not where people go to learn to hand over their problems to a "higher power" in lieu of dealing with said problems? Where is the difference between drinking and not dealing with their problems and turning their problems over to their higher power? I never could see the difference being that the problems are STILL not being dealt with. The difference that I see is that now they have a self-rightous excuse to not deal with the problem and they can pat themselves, and each other, on the back and say, "Well at least we are not drinking". No you may not be drinking but your use of other stimulants such as caffine and nicotine seem grow at a very high rate of useage.
