AA teaches a false God, a "higher power" that demands nothing, just a buddy to pray to. I was in an anonymous group, and a newcomer, in his introduction, confessed to being a Christian and a voice in the back commented "lot of good your Christianity did eh"? The man paused and said he'd never had a narcotic pain killer in his life until he had knee surgery and fell in love with opiates. He had difficulty stopping and people in his church suggested Anonymous. "So here I am" he concluded and sat down. At the end of the meeting they asked the new guy if he'd like to close the meeting and he replied saying he's like to read The Lord's Prayer. The room went wild yelling and cursing him for suggesting such a repugnant thing. After the meeting ended I met up with the man in the parking lot and said I too am a Christian and struggling. He chuckled and said he could see that Anonymous was not for him. I said I wouldn't be coming back either and suggested he find a Christian deliverance ("recovery") group. That was the last I saw of him, and I took a different path, one I believed God meant to show me.
