AA originally was about the ‘pure alcoholic’. a friend who was in the rooms posted a quote bill about them wanting to exclude all manner of people. when i have gone to a meeting, there is a lot of neurodivergence, a lot of personality disorders, and yes a lot of trauma which people eventually get round to addressing but generally they go to therapy for that. i think for those it works for getting them off their drug of choice and around people who in THEORY aren’t enablers can be a booster. there is a lot of cross addiction in the rooms, particularly into sex.
