Use a campus counseling center as a resource, but sending someone who has an alcohol incident to AA is not what AA is for. The only membership requirement for AA is a want to stop drinking, and that choice is a very personal one an individual needs to make, and shouldn't be forced by a college social group.
I highly encourage anyone who wants to help someone to read the pamphlet on their website http://www.aa.org/lang/en/catalog.cf...=198&product=4 and then think long and hard about using AA in their standards. |
Agreed! I'm sure the members of AA would be really thrilled to be spilling their guts in front of a petulant sorority girl forced to attend so she wouldn't get a fine for puking on the pool table.
