13/05/08 A Letter to Treatment Centres in the UK from Blamedenial.co.uk: here
I have received some messages lately implying that whilst I ‘might’ have a point, until I have a proven method to beat addiction I should refrain from going public with my concerns about AA. I concede this appears, at least on the surface, a rational request, but it also happens to be the precise reason why AA enjoys such universal endorsement. AA has a minimal efficacy at best, around 5% which just so happens to mirror that of spontaneous remission, or no treatment at all. The false assumption often made is anyone relapsing on their departure from AA has done so because they left the rooms, but this belief fails to take into account the relapse rate amongst those who attend AA. I am afraid, in part due to AA’s unwillingness to answer my points, I am left in no position but to accept a sad truth; we regrettably have to embark on a course of action that erroneously appears as though we are taking a few steps backwards. No progress will ever be achieved until we correct the fallacy that is AA’s stereotype of the alcoholic/addict.
