Many poor people are court ordered to AA in violation of their constitutional rights. AA has been court ordered since 1930’s; DUI continues. More severe laws needed. AA should not be court ordered, nor should Celebrate Recovery which is even more religiously explicit. Serenity Prayer author Reinhold Niebuhr emphasized separation church/state in Mike Wallace/Niebuhr 1958 interview available online. AA is religious; its own ‘AA Comes of Age’ says so over 11 times in 20 pages–304-324. AA took Niebuhr's Serenity Prayer to open its quasi-secret society meetings decades ago. Practicing altruism, or agape love over eros love, requires willingness (and the wherewithal) that is, unfortunately, too often unrealistic (unless you're a monk in a monastery ['The Brothers Karamazov']). So its not hard to see how one might lose their way. But Bill W.'s, and his wife Lois, Father Dowling, and other AA's, turning to LSD believing it to improve one's relationship with God raises a red flag about AA.
