IOW, you have no clue. You throw around stats without understanding how they were calculated because they give you an excuse to criticize a program that you don't like because of the "god" thing.

The bottom line is AA/NA does work for many people and it is unlikely that its success rate is much less than other treatments if once you make sure you are comparing apples to apples. And even if its success rate is lower it helps more people because it is low cost. So the question becomes: what exactly is the problem with AA/NA?

If you go back to my first comment on the matter, I clearly said that AA does some good work. I am not knocking them, just putting them in their place. It seems very clear that success rates of other programs are better, and yes I do have a clue. I am not saying to get rid of AA, just be realistic. Don't allow people to die of overdoses or infections, just because AA gives them a faint hope of curing their addiction therefore if they don't follow it they deserve to die as you seem to think.
