Nope. Not even a little. Doesn't claim to be.[/b][/quote]
OK, I'll tell you how it is based on sound science and see what happens.
The first 100 sober members of the fellowship were polled in the 1930s to find out what theyd done that had kept them sober. The survey result was that there were 12 particular actions that they had all done some of, and which they reported had helped them greatly in the struggle with drink. These 12 actions were drawn up as the famous 12 Steps of AA.
How is this scientific? It is sound scientific method to:
1. say we dont know how theyre keeping sober
2. take a survey to find out
3. statistically identify the common solutions
4. compile them to make the most effectrive program known to the world.
That my friend is science working. It is the beauty of statistics.
Since then AA's results have been confirmed over and over scientifically.
