I used in management for that organisation. And there is no line around the door to get in. Even the people who are in it, all hate it at least a little. Some a lot more than a little. The endless meetings full of grumpy people. It feels like the worlds flotsam of lost souls all wash up on that beach. And the humility, and the beating yourself up that goes on in there. 

Its a long term commitment to it as well. Did I say long term – I meant life. Its a life sentence! But people do it just to not become the animal they were with drink. There is that level of desperation required to join. So it may not be for you. Or you are in it, and you want to resolve the root cause of the whole thing! Then your return to those meetings will be completely voluntary. I do this job day in and day out. I help people solve this exact problem. I am very effective at it.
