Question by Cindy R.: Does James Frey reject Alcoholics Anonymous?
Does James Frey, the “Million Little Pieces” author reject AA?

Was he forced to go to AA?

Did he like AA?

Best answer:

Answer by raysny
He hated AA and wrote a book about getting sober without AA:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Million_Little_Pieces

Unfortunately for all the people that book resonated with, Fry embellished much of the book, giving AA members something to denounce the book over. Many feel that catching Frey in untruths somehow make their lies true.

People in AA tell the same sort of stories, called drunkalogues, in meetings all the time. Frey was put under a microscope because he doesn’t believe people are powerless over their addictions or that you need AA’s particular god to bail out out on a daily basis.
