AA’s meetings, with their folding chairs and donated coffee, were intended as a judgment-free space for addicts to talk about their problems. Treatment facilities were designed for discipline. Something else has been lost with the institutionalization of the 12 steps over the years: Bill Wilson’s openness to medical intervention.
