Agreed. (I don't know why you're being downvoted.) I've never been in AA but I am close to someone who has. The primary benefit I see AA provide them is a group of like-minded people who will do fulfilling non-drug-related activities with them. Addiction is as much social as it is physiological. It's very difficult to quit an addiction if you continue to hang out with the same people in the same environment in which you developed your addiction. Replacing that social environment with a new one composed of people who are sworn to avoid those substances and which is filled with fulfilling activities unrelated to your addiction is a superb way to keep from slipping back into old habits.
