In my limited experience with it, it does not seem to be a place conducive to helping people lead a normal non-dependent life. The people that stave off demon rum seem to very often become addicted to the shame and self-abasement of AA meetings, to the point sometimes that they get itchy if they don't get their daily fix.
Of course I see some of the more strident AA members coming in and out of the state liquor store all the time, too.
