Actually, AA teachings have given my self-esteem/sense of self-worth a
considerable boost. Two of the ways in which they have done this is
by enabling me to appreciate the importance of distinguishing that for
which I am responsible from that for which I am not and encouraging me
to keep practising making the distinction.

You know for sure that I have defeated alcohol. You can see into my
future ?

You're not the first person to post here that's given publicity to the
idea that AA is a religious organisation. Many who have done so
support the idea that Moderation Management can help all those who
seek to stop abusing alcohol. Probably, you won't be the last :^)
