I don't get this either. If it's a medicine like baclofen to treat addiction or maybe ibogaine it's automatically worthless in your eyes just because you use a different approach?

AA guys can't just be happy for people trying to clean up their lives?

Remember how we have been talking about bigotry?

AA has been around for many years and there has been adequate time for people to study and form informed opinions about it.

It makes sense to be skeptical of something that has been around for a long time yet remains unproven the same way it makes sense to be skeptical of promising new approach (drug).

The drug is going to end up with peer reviewed studies in time that will prove or disprove it's effectiveness.
