No good links, but my understanding is that AA has the highest success rates outside of illegal drug therapies (ecstasy, Ayahuasca, other hallucinogens). But the stats certainly get murky because you never really leave AA. I think other therapies are more finite. But yeah saying you are powerless and need God's help might be their secret. Or maybe it's the easily digestible 12 step process. Maybe an anti-God personally empowered 12 step program is possible, like an anti-AA.

I guess I need to dig up some documentaries exposing the AA cult for you. I know I've seen at least one.

Give it your worst. Maybe that founder Bill guy was popping pills or something, meh. If you combine all of the *A support groups (AA, NA, etc.), it's gotta be like the biggest secular organization on earth. You can stumble in their and get help any day. They don't love bomb you, and the coffee sucks ass.
