yes, they also say the lord's prayer at the end of each meeting. What a tragedy that AA needs to incorporate religion and god into their healing process.
Most , not all recovering drunks or druggers are now hooked on Jesus. Weak, weak. I encountered a check out guy at a supermarket who repeatedly told me how blessed he was and that I need Jesus in my life. He was obviously a recovering addict. Weak....... It's so frustrating to witness brainwashing in it's ugliest form.

I couldn't agree more. You might want to inform your brother that AA/NA is closer to a religious cult than any actual medical "treatment". It's sucess rate is also no better than the spontaneous rate of remission (no treatment).

Google "AA cult or cure" or click her for more information:

Chapter 7 covers AA's sucess rates and Chapter 11 covers whether or not AA could be considered a cult.

AA's doctrine teaches that people are powerless over their substances. While this sounds good on paper, this doctrine of powerlessness often convinces people that their usage is out of their control. It is likely for this reason that court offenders with AA treatment have a 5 times higher rate of binge drinking than those with no treatment at all and a 9 times greater rate than those who have had rational behavior therapy (brandsma et al*).

There are secular treatment alternatives with much higher sucess rates. If you care about your relative, I would look into those instead of AA. Stanton Peele is a person you might want to google in that respect.

My mom started going to AA 35-40 years ago. This is why she's religious. I think it's a load of crap too.
