Young man needs alcohol counseling. Has NO interest in the things of the Lord, though he was raised in church. Is A A a good option?

I have a neighbor who is an alcoholic, on the wagon, doesn't like AA and does well.
My Grandson was completely ruining a great career in programming, is in AA and is doing great. 4 years sober now and still attends.

Some people need something, and AA does as good as any. Some people can kick it with out it, I did. As far as I can tell they do not 'push' any religion, but do affirm that there is a God that helps. Cool

I would think any help would be better than no help.

AA worked for a friend of mine.

Never went back. God probably helped too.

Celebrate Recovery works pretty good.

Probably not as consistent (AA meets every day, CR once a week) but is 12 step and is Christ centered rather that just "a higher power".
