Back in the mid-2010s, there were a number of anti-AA websites online:
The sites all have one thing in common here in 2022: They are all down. The first two sites have been bought out by cyber squatters, and the orange-papers site does not even resolve, much less display a web page. Indeed, all of these sites were down when the 2020 Cochrane report on AA came out in March of 2020, so they certainly have not addressed the scientific evidence -- make that scientific consensus -- that Alcoholics Anonymous helps people get and stay sober.
Also, there are unproven allegations supposedly from people who personally knew the owner of the Orange Papers domain that he drank again. While these allegations can not be proven, they are consistent with the kind of attitude Orange had towards AA back when his site was live.
The fact that none of the owners of those websites was able to keep their site up long-term indicates they didn’t have their stuff together. I don’t want what they had.
I wish the owners of all of these sites well. In particular, back when the owner of morerevealed.com was still online, many years ago, I told him back then he was in my prayers. The door of AA is open for them if they want to get sober in the program, and regardless I hope they are OK.
The AA website, of course, is up and alive and well:
