Does AA work?

If by AA, you mean attending AA meetings regularly, then no.

It no more works to treat alcoholism than hanging out in a doctor's waiting room treats a broken arm.

If by AA, you mean the AA programme, then yes, invariably:

But if you really and truly want to quit drinking liquor for good and all, and sincerely feel that you must have some help, we know that we have an answer for you. It never fails, if you go about it with one half the zeal you have been in the habit of showing when you were getting another drink.
