Non-religious woman who refused judge's order to meet with Christian counselor loses her sons

There’s a lot of problems with AA besides the god-talk.

For instance, the whole angle that you as a wretched addict are an evildoer who must necessarily hurt others as part of the additiction, will never “be okay”, and have no personal agency.

“We admitted we were powerless over alcohol and that our lives had become unmanageable.”

Bullshit. If that were true, then nobody would ever get sober. It only encourages people to embrace learned helplessness and engage in AA’s cycle of codependent forgiveness.
