First point is, someone has mentioned that A.A. has low success rates, but this is nothing to the point.  I do not blame weight rooms because we have a bunch of fat people roaming about in society. In the early days A.A. had very high success rates, 50-75 percent.  Today the judges and lawyers mandate that drunks do A.A. meetings; e.g. Johnny has had one too many DUI's, so the judge mandates that he go to AA for thirty days. The truth is Johnny is not done drinking.  But A.A. is not to blame, that is ridiculous.

Alcoholics Anonymous was founded in 1935, and countless "Traditional Catholics" have frequented A.A. and put together substantial periods of sobriety.  Fr. Ralph Pfau was the first priest to get sober in A.A. in November, 1941, and he died sober in 1967.  He gave A.A. retreats all over America.  If A.A. were filled with Freemasons and dangerous for Catholics, as some of you foolishly claim, then I doubt these priests and lay Catholics would invest so much time and energy in A.A. A.A. is not a religious organization and has never claimed to be, hence Catholics are not in endangering their Faith by A.A. attendance.

I have noticed in this Anonymous thread (I have no idea why it is anonymous) that some of you are offering immature, uninformed opinions about something you know very little about.  It was always our impression that if one were ignorant about a topic then he ought to listen in humble silence to those who do know something, and not blather useless opinions, and dangerous opinions at that.  I would never tell an alcoholic Catholic not to go to A.A.  That is terrible advice. 

Are there any members here struggling with alcohol? I just went to an AA meeting and one person held up a picture of her dead cat and said that was her "higher power". She said she prayed to her dead cat for help to stop
Drinking. Also the leader of the meeting trash talked the Catholic church and then said here "higher power" was a triangular tattoo on her arm she named "Grace". She said her tattoo was an angel and could be borrowed by other members. Other members mentioned bhuddism as helping them but they obviously had a sophomoric understanding of the teachings of that false religion.

This nonsensical indifferatism is in every AA meeting.

I am thinking of starting a traditional Catholic Alcohol Abstinence group if there is a need for it. The meetings would be held on zoom.

Let me know if you would be interested in something like this.

I have known traditional Catholics who have really struggled with drinking too much and it would be nice if there was a traditional Catholic version of the AA.  

Prayers for you and that you find a good Catholic support group with people who are more helpful and understanding.

I got in trouble when I was younger and had to attend an AA meeting, by the time I got out of there, I needed a drink.
 
Just a complete clown show.

Prayers and go cold turkey.  

Truth is, the powers come from the Precious Blood of Jesus Christ.  D.A.R.E. a group to dare kids to stay away from drugs.  Proved it never worked. Dare taught that "we" have the power to say "no".  The money for these programs, our federal $$ in schools made an untruth taught.  A lie.  Money abused, and abused the kids.

Truth will always be, Powers of the Precious Blood of Jesus Christ.

Many years ago, before Vatican II, a group known as the Sacred Heart Group was formed for those with Addictions.  Members were advised to get as many sacraments as possible. I don't know anything else, but the True Church did care for those with addictions. They had meetings. Yes, they are needed.
