It was due in 2010. I think I read somewhere that AA had stopped doing them because they were so embarrassing. Does anyone know the truth?

I do remember Clara saying that they had been carried out a few months ago, but Clara says a lot of things that simply aren't true. Well, not in this version of reality anyway...lol.

They did not foresee the power of the internet, and the unwashed masses actually having access to the numbers. I think originally it was one of those things people could snail mail in for.

I would not trust any numbers they disclose in the future. The nightmare scenario for the AA faith is for those numbers to become public, which is happening more and more everyday- to the point that the DSM is being rewritten, the use of 'predisposition' to a disease, and the declaration that 'treatment' is completely different than AA.

We have seen many treatment operations be deceptive with their numbers, such as considering complete success that someone actually spends the 28 days in rehab before desertion.

Since Karl Rove came on the scene, society has been trained that perception is reality. I am guessing the numbers are being rewritten, perhaps to the point that different questions in the survey are being written and people being resurveyed.

These people are not to be trusted.

I don't know the answer to that, Conan. What I do know is that AA has completely abandoned including the embarrassing and abysmal stats for first year attendees that show a 95% drop out rate. They haven't done that since 1989. It was the same abysmal 5% rate of retention for 15 years running. Oh how embarrassing for them.

Why would they need the info if it were not a program of promotion?

because there is allegedly no leadership to get things done, or update theology

I'd like to see the results, too, if anybody finds any. I haven't heard a thing about the latest triennial survey either, or whether it was even done. Seems like they just cannot win for losing with those triennial surveys. Every one of them reveals something embarrassing, like dropout rate or coercive recruiting rate, or something.
