Anyone who has ever been part of AA/Al-Anon

and didn't drink the Koolaide or buy into it wholesale, might appreciate this show. It's dark, dry and real. There's always "that guy" (many of them) who talk the program and really "work it" whether they are still drinking or not. They also love to work the 13th step, which consists of preying on younger and vulnerable women new to the program. They are indeed flakes. AA is full of them. They talk love and acceptance but in my experience, ego stroking, controlling their sponsees, and bragging is the real name of the game. I don't begrudge the community many of these folks get at AA. Most of them need serious psychological help they can't afford. They do get help but the program isn't entirely healthy. World wide membership is way down, their funds are way down.

Chip is embodies this whole feeling for me. I even knew a guy named Chip in AA!
