Anyone familar with AA groups in Mexico?
I'm trying to find some info on groups in mexico that are an offshoot from traditional AA, called "AA de cuarto y quinto paso." Translated, that's AA of the fourth and fifth step. I'm also wondering if such groups exist in the united states. If anyone has any info I'd be grateful!

2. A therapist once tried to kill me by sentencing me to AA
If you want to believe in a religion that requires you to bully vulnerable people for being in pain, there's a DU Group where you can discuss that poisonous evil shit, called Addiction/Recovery.

These cuarto y quinto paso groups are interesting...I had the opportunity (if you can call it that) to be part of one a few summers back. Messed up, that's all I have to say. If you think AA is bad, these groups are hell. Just trying to do some research on them and see if these groups have moved north into the USA.

5. That's too bad.
It sounds a little like confession without priests, which could be a good thing.
