The AA industrial complex has such a hold on this part of our medical system, I doubt you'll see doctors prescribing it to reduce drinking. I was drinking too much, told my doctor, got the usual crap about going to AA. I asked for a naltrexone prescription. He hadn't heard of it, said it wouldn't work, but did give it to me. Alcoholism cured. We already know how to fix it, there's just a lot of people making money off selling the ineffective program from 100 years ago.
- aantix 2y agoIt's important to seek multiple viewpoints. All doctors will have their lenses for which they view problems. Psychological, pharmaceutical, nutritional, etc.

Tried to do the Sinclair Method but just couldn't do it. Then it was the actual diabetic A1C diagnosis that got her to prescribe the Rybelsus. And she was very supportive of me moving to Mounjaro (tirzepitide) when I plateaued in my weight loss.

- Kerb_ 2y agoYeah, if you're gonna call AA some sort of nefarious organization it would definitely be a cult, not an industrial complex
