Some people in AA want to stop drinking, but unless you're tight with someone in a meeting there's no way to know what people are doing after and inbetween meetings, someone might be in AA for 3 weeks and then they're hitting on some beers and bongs or whatever. I don't go to Rehab now but have been to rehab before and after groups I drink a few or after seeing's a counciler or getting a piss test and stuff, I went to rehab around 18 years old up until my late 20's and drank beer, not everyday, but they never new. Those dudes that are older and were married and had a house,vehicles,boats,etc.. and lose there shit stop drinking, but younger adults usually just go so they can make drug connections and what not. If someone likes drugs what a perfect place to hang out, someone does not have to hang out with people and get tight to figure what what people do or don't do in a social setting and what not, plus people get paronoid about that shit sometimes you know. Not that I do drugs, sometimes I might smoke, that's it.
