Here's evidence that they are effective.
Also, neither Marijuana Anonymous or AA charges anyone anything to attend meetings. There's no 'sober police' hunting people down if they decide not to go to meetings. There are agnostic and atheist meeting for people who don't like the idea of a Higher Power.
There's an AA slogan I like. Come to AA for 90 days and follow the program. If at the end of that time you don't like it, you can always have your misery back for free.
That's a shitty slogan. "Do our program or keep living your shitty life peasant, only 2 choices!"
