I love many of the steps, particularly those that don't discuss God as those can benefit everyone, https://medium.com/illumination/spirituality-redefined-ff45cb53eaf2, and AA has a God problem, https://medium.com/illumination-curated/12-step-programs-god-problem-dea17a6e0536,but I am no fan of the way 12-step programs have devolved to feed the egos of "old-timers" / "bleeding deacons" and shame relapsers while pretend saying let us love you until you can love yourself (a la a cult) https://marcus17043.medium.com/efficacy-of-12-step-programs-for-addiction-treatment-c111fbffc10a
