Sometimes at an Alcoholics Anonymous meeting, a speaker will describe the "what happened" part of his or her story of "what we used to be like, what happened and what we are like now" by saying, "I got sick and tired of being sick and tired". Scholars of the varied literature on A.A, find themselves sick and tired of hearing too often observers of A.A decrying its lack of scientifically demonstrated value and its apparent reliance on some nebulous entity called "Spirituality". Some claim that the fellowship and program lack "proven results", not realizing how that assertion evidences their own lamentable lack of familiarity with the available schorlary literature on A.A. Delve in and unravel the facts.
