Letter to My Best Friend Alcohol (Humorous)
Dear Alcohol, First and foremost, let me tell you that I'm a HUGE fan of yours. As my friend, you always seem to be there when needed.

AA is not group therapy, but it is therapeutic. The obvious difference between AA and group therapy is that in AA there is no trained therapist leading the group.
