While AA has indeed helped millions of people -- and I am in a human way proud of you for overcoming your own struggles -- I agree with Azorka in that the government should not be requiring attendance of a christian organization. Even one that is not 'overt'. In fact in 2007 the Ninth Circuit of the US Court of Appeals ruled that a parolee forced to attend AA by their parole office had full legal right to sue, due to its widely accepted religious components. 

As for your statement, "Do you know of any alternative to AA other than keep the evil doers in jail getting thirstier by the day?"; I know of a good number of alternatives, just none that are currently LEGALLY REQUIRED, per say. http://www.rehabs.com/pro-talk-articles/if-not-aa-then-what-alternatives-to-12-step-groups/
Here's a link listing a good couple other groups, so that you don't think I'm lying.
