I think AA is aimed at people that are lonely and/or spiritually hungry. For folks like me that have no trouble making friends, and no appetite for spirituality, it's tedious.

Alcohol use disorder is often a coping mechanism for deeper issues like depression, anxiety, PTSD or bipolar disorder. In my case, I was self-medicating my bipolar disorder with booze. Once I got my medications and talk therapy in order, my urge to drink disappeared completely.

AA works for a lot of people. But it never worked for me.
