"I found AA to be demeaning and i think its unfortunate that people are criticised for wanting to get better sometimes."
Conversely, I find it demeaning to one's self to avoid taking the hard look at yourself that AA necessitates by instead choosing to take a pill to mask those feelings that caused you to drink to begin with. I will forever contend that the former is more fraught with possible failure, but is much stronger in terms of long term success.
