AA Meeting and Jesus
From A lady about her Journey with Her husband ,who was an alcoholic.

My husband has been sober through AA for 5 years. I saw wonderful transformation occur for him and was super supportive. I saw him form a relationship with "God". I cant know what that means fully for him, but I can tell you my husband showed more fruit of God's attributes than I had as a "highly evolved spiritual person". Seeing and hearing him pray and watching him grow into a really good man was amazing and also put a sand in my shoes that began to rub in my spiritual life...he had a "relationship" with God and a peace I didn't.
Fast forward to my salvation 16 months ago.( 2019)... God spoke to me about AA.
He impressed on me how it keeps his beloved children in bondage and in wrong identity and how it becomes an idol.( Idolatry)
It keeps many people away from the cross, focused on their works (service is main path), and self, and just being/becoming a good person.
The doctrine is so intermingled with truth and godly principles.
Speaking "I am an alcoholic" for the rest of your life puts these people in identity bondage.
It does not speak life into them and creates a dependence...an idol...on the 12 steps.
It completely does not acknowledge that Jesus and his work on the cross has the power to completely transform their lives and relieve them of their bondage for good!! ....in fact they pray constantly a literal prayer, "god relieve me of the bondage" .....well how the heck can He when you profess and identify as an alcoholic forever?!!
God spoke to me about this.....Our identity is A CHILD OF GOD and once you know that and receive it, you could never speak such a demonic contract over yourself like I am an alcoholic!
It is such a heavy weight on my life. I shared it all with my husband who no longer drinks and has worked the steps successfully that he should consider not speaking those words of death over himself. Of course he disagreed and defended the practice. I said in response, "you have healed from this! Don't you think it would actually help more people if that message was shared in meetings? That you Don't Have to identify as this broken thing forever?" ...he didn't have a response, but something like...the system works, we follow it.
Its depressing. And about 8 months into my salvation, I believe is a big part of what is in the way of his salvation and receiving the gospel into his heart.
He flat out told me a few months ago that he is a good person and works to be a good person and sees himself behaving better than me and a lot of christians...and that Jesus is not the only way. ...and why would He be if you just have to be a good person and you have it all figured out through AA? ...I mean I get his logic!!
AA started out good in our lives, now he makes is his top priority, over our marriage. He doesn't see it. But it is always AA over us and anything else. IDOLATRY. And I pray he is delivered from it and becomes a shepherd sharing the good news and pulls many out as soon as today Lord!!
Then I saw his "chip" in a new light...I almost tossed it to the ground when I picked it up because it held such a demonic energy!!!
I hold close that God can and will use everything for His glory 🙌 I pray my husband have an even more dramatic transformation than I had! I pray he is so overwhelmed by his sin and rejection of God's truth and God's amazing love and promise for him that he never goto another meeting and he spread the truth through those rooms! I pray God give him a fire a thousand times stronger than what he gave me and that He win so many souls!

I’m 35+ years clean & sober, and was born again around the same time. I never wanted to be reliant upon the program, or be a life long member. It is a very good starting point for sobriety, and it provides a very good support for the alcoholic. The support & the steps can be crucial for the alcoholic. It can be however stifling & enticing (lots of occultism there) for the christian, especially a weal or baby christian. That said, there are very strong christians there.

Awesome testimony. I found that out about wearing a title that bonds you twenty four years ago when I came clean. And only through a personal relationship with Jesus Christ can you come clean.
