With so many ex-AA crusaders, willing to put so much time and effort into exposing what happened to them in AA and advocating for more variety in rehab choices, the refusal of many people to even entertain the possibility that there might be something amiss in the 12 step model seems unbelievably stubborn.
God knows I've researched and posted enough links, articles, and expert opinions about AA to fill a good-sized textbook.
Why is there such vehement insistance that AA is all anyone needs, and the constant refrain of "he/she is an ex 12-stepper with a grudge against AA" so popular among so many people who aren't members or ex-members?
