AA is really more of a religion than an evidence based approach. Some find it helpful. For others it's harmful. Statistically speaking, IIRC, there's no significant difference between AA and other approaches to long term sobriety. If it works for you, great! For anyone who is skeptical or having a hard time with AA, I recommend the book The Sober Truth.
