Does Anyone Else See a Common Personality Profile in AA?
Question by abnjim5: Does anyone else see a common personality profile in AA?
I have been researching self-help groups and find a common psychological profile with Alcoholic Anonymous members. Among the many characteristics that I have discovered is a strong desire to seek assistance outside their bodies (brain) with their addiction to alcohol.

I am puzzled, can anyone help me understand this AA process?
