matter. The simple fact is that it's not you who makes the biggest choices in your life.

Why not? I understand that the AA model helps people, and if thats how they want to learn to deal with their addiction that's their choice. But I take umbrage with someone then saying that it's a fact that "it's not you who makes the biggest choices in your life."

That's okay for you to believe about your own life, but you don't get to say that's a fact for mine.

There's plenty of people who manage their addictions without AA. Those people aren't any better or worse than AA members, but I sure as shit would bet they wouldn't like to be told that "they didn't make the biggest choices in their life."
