You are stretching it here brother. Comparing nicotine to alcohol? lol. When’s the last time we had a domestic violence situation over nicotine? lol
I can’t understand your distain for AA. So it works for some, and not for others. That goes for rehab, god, and holistic Medicine. Do what works for you.
No ones perfect and we all have something we are addicted to or over indulge in. AA isn’t really my cup a tea either, but almost anything in life we can find flaws in. AA does talk a lot about Egos. And the few writings I read of yours screams “my ego is running the show”
