Avira, to be more specific:
I gave a reference and quotes that should show you that R Twersky sees AA in its core are matching up with Jewish ideas, rather than trying to see how to “mold” a foreign approach. This is my humble understanding, not being a psychologist or AA bokeh. What seems to bother you (trying to emulate R Twersky as he often sees middos behind “intellectual” arguments) that he is so bold in associating with a foreign movement, instead of building a pure Torahdic approach from scratch. As one (Chabad) Talmid Chacham summarized Rambam’s shitah on Muslim and other philosophy and science to me “He is not afraid to modeh emes regardless of the source”.
