This reminds me of AA meetings. In my area they all pushed you nonstop to get a sponsor. And then the sponsor would push you nonstop to pray every day. Every meeting was in a church. And the veteran guys would talk about how they haven't thought about alcohol everyday while talking about alcohol everyday.
It's nonsense.
I worked with addiction services and AA, for me, seemed quite culty. Its not explicit that "acknowledge that you have to hand your personal agency over to an imagined 'higher power'" is one of the steps.
They start using these in-group phrases and shit.. it always felt like they were seconds away from having secret handshakes and assigning themselves ranks like "deputy high priest of "I used to drink all the time""
Don't they effectively have ranks? You get coins to show your "progress" within the cult. Maybe it's not treated quite the same as rank, but it's hard to say it's that different.
Is this in the US?
Yeah
