I went to AA when I was concerned about my drinking. A fair few people there seemed to have swapped alcohol dependence for AA meeting dependence. Definitely better to be reliant on a supportive group of peers than something that'll eventually kill you, but felt like swapping smoking for vaping - definitely better for you, but not solving the underlying cause. And their view that you're always going to be an alcoholic, for the rest of your life feels like a belief rather than scientific fact, and sometimes, a self-fulfilling prophecy when members relapse. But ultimately, it works for some people, so more power to them.
