(Apologies if this appears twice -- my post didn't seem to take.)

The origin of AA was in an era long before our more modern medical understanding, so they treat the cause as a "black box."

Unfortunately, the agents people use to quiet their overactive brains, e.g. alcohol, are not very effective, and cause their own problems, which are more visible.

Elsewhere on this forum I've seen discussions about this, and how some of the newer AA members are more understanding of this than the older members.

Also, that AA doesn't represent itself as the entire treatment.
