Believe in whatever supernatural forces you like.

My point was that the claim that AA has a high success rate is dubious. High success rate in comparison to what?

If you aren't comparing AA to anything else keeping 1 person sober for 1 day would be a pretty high number compared to 0.

Again, AA works for some people but there is no evidence of any kind of long term success in the program.

Considering that few people stay in the program even after a year after they started going...

If you are interested in an alcohol treatment that you can actually study check out a medicine called Baclofen.

When AA starts publishing numbers that can be backed up by independent research they will stop sounding like a religious organization who sells books and tokens.
