I think the alternative to AA meetings is usually jail time - so it probably is to some degree voluntary.

- jqm 12y agoI don't call that voluntary any more than I call a check ballot for or against Hitler a democracy.

"Do this or go to jail" is pretty much the definition of something which is -- legally speaking -- compulsory, not voluntary. Its voluntary in the trivial sense that a conscious choice is involved, but not voluntary in the legal sense (or the substantive sense of a free choice made without threat of force.)
