well my brother once said to a judge who was going to give him "probation" that included a clause that he had to attend so many AA meetings -- AA is for Quitters and I'm no quitter , I am a grown adult and I going to drink till the day I die ...if I am out of jail --and since I have to pay a monthly fee for probation to be out you might as well just gimme my time I gotta serve with no probation attached cuz I do not want to pay to be free ...I am hard headed that way he said --the judge said well if that's the way you want to be..and gave him "his time to serve"...true story
AA members understand "support groups" --drunks often band together --so that when one is broke another can give him some booze --drinking buddies are very very common --so are several drunks living together to attempt tp keep a roof over their head (many come from disfunctional families --where the mom is often a queen bee type and her children have low wage jobs or are on welfare and they all chip in a bit to keep a roof over their heads )
humor often comes from bleak dark places --some of the greatest humorist --had sad lives and died tragically
my dad told me 2 great things #1 never pick up a habit you can't put down #2 your brain is for thinking , your heart is for feeling --yes have a heart but leave the thinking to your brain
Your Brother made a decent choice IMO (depending on family / Job situations ) I've seen judges give 100 AA meetings in 100 days before on top of a Drug & Alcohol eval, that 95% of the time will give a person 10-40+ more $20 (now likely $30 ) meetings to go to.
It's much cheaper to do the time, probation wants people there anyway.
