I'm Rhiannon and I'm in AA as well. I also chair meetings, give rides, make cookies, order coins, whatever helps. But I'm not a spokesperson for AA, either - though I'll do anything I can to support anyone who shows up. And I know that it hasn't worked for everybody. I've been to too many funerals.
But I agree with you, we need to try everything, it's definitely worth the effort to attempt to save lives. What I don't understand is the resistance from those who have experienced losses - Senator Murphy has been dedicated to gun control since Sandy Hook happened in his congressional district 10 years ago.
Maybe it takes time - it takes some people awhile after finding AA, including me. But those who I've seen who are the most ready to embrace AA are those who have suffered a trauma, usually legal trouble. And considering the terrible trauma recently suffered by those in Texas, one would think that they'd be ready to try anything to prevent it from happening again - I'm looking at you Abbott, Cruz and Cornyn. But then there were terrible deaths during the power failure in their state last winter - and they didn't care enough to make the necessary changes after that, either.
