Question by everybody loves 3000: What is your opinion on/impression of Alcoholics Anonymous?
I know some people see it as a cult of sorts. Also, have you ever been to a meeting?

Best answer:

Answer by BDC
I go weekly although the religious crap is really starting to get to me.

The meetings themselves aren’t *supposed* to be inherently religious as to be inclusive, however sometimes certain meetings become that way.

If over mention of God and Jesus offends you, you might want to try another self-help group besides AA like Second Chance (which doesn’t even do the whole 12 step thing).

Over all though, my experiences of AA have been pleasant.
