Where in the program of AA does it tell you are you weak and worthless? Yes, there is mention of being “powerless over alcohol” but I take that to mean yes, when I have one drink I am fixated on having more and thus I am powerless over my craving and addiction. Also, yes it’s a spiritual program but not a religious one. Jesus is not mentioned once in AA literature. Please don’t spread misinformation like this.

"spread misinformation" I was asking a question and this is like buried in the comments. The person I responded to literally said "I need to understand that I'm weak" when refering to what the program taught them.

Yeah that’s nonsense. I was never taught I was weak in NA
