Opioid addiction cannot be compared to alcohol addiction.  You have been presented with an alternative viewpoint and assume that it was offered so as to personally attack.  You're grateful to AA for your sobriety, there is nothing wrong with that.  The compiled data indicates that the efficacy rate is 6% ish.  Opiate tolerance and addiction fundamentally changes the brain.  Is it the same for alcohol?  I don't know, I'm not a a neurologist but the issue is incredibly fascinating and one that has many voices who retain empirical evidence to support their findings.  Yours is anecdotal and that's good enough for you, but your "solution" doesn't bear out in comparison to MAT paired with trauma influenced counseling, cognitive behavioral counseling and motivational counseling.  

But hey, feel personally affronted if that works for you.
