Glen writes: "All this running around, apologizing for their drunken behavior, trying to make amends, relinquishing the control/guilt/self-made-myth, etc. has completely distorted, if not broken, their previous (self-centered) narrative. In that sense, AA is like any other (authentic) Christian ministry, where the intent is to turn individualists into socialists, or at least indoctrinate them into a tribe."
There's a difference between failing to recognize the various groupings and their purposes & behaviors, and rejecting many of those groupings. An individualist can be the self-centered person who is ignorant of the groupings, or a person who finds the groupings counterproductive toward achieving even more universal goals.
