A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.

You measure these things with surveys and interviews and design statics. AA claims to have success and relapse numbers, but I'd prefer independently run ones. Not everything scientific needs to be or can be a double blind trial.

If it's measurably, it can be improved. Even if AA works, does it have a better success rate then quitting cold turkey? Even if works, are there things that can be changed to make it work even better?

You’re a very bizarre form of evil.

You sound like you're in a cult.

Only pussies pull out the "cult" word when they have obviously lost, as evidenced by that EXTREEEEEMELY stupid 'cold turkey' bit. Since you clearly know nothing at all about addiction or anything remotely related to it, you can fuck right off into the sun.

And ftr, I haven't been a part of AA since 2007. Yet all you assholes still claim "cult" when talking out your fucking ass about shit you know nothing about. Fucking morons.
