What the Problem Was, Really. . .AA

Why was I not enjoy those blessings in my life?

The key enforcement clause of the New Covenant makes all the difference:

"For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their iniquities will I remember no more." (Hebrews 8: 12)

As long as I continued to attend AA meetings, as long as I continued to believe that I was "not OK" with God, then I was not believing that Jesus had done everything for me:

"Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent." (John 6:29)

Why did God prevent the first generation of Israelites from entering the Promised Land?

"Let us labour therefore to enter into that rest, lest any man fall after the same example of unbelief." (Hebrews 4: 11)

They did not believe in God, they did not take Him at His Word. God the Father has sent His Son, the Word made flesh. It's time for you take to God the Father at His Word, and all things with Him.

As long as someone continues working the Twelve Steps, their actions, words, and thoughts war against the belief that all our sins are forgiven in Christ.

Returning to Hebrews  8, the last verse of the chapter tells all of us what happens to the Old Covenant:

"In that he saith, A new covenant, he hath made the first old. Now that which decayeth and waxeth old is ready to vanish away." (Hebrews 8:13)

AA members, like many tradition-minded church goers, are still operating under the Old Covenant, one which was faulty because of man, because he could not keep the law (Hebrews 8: 8)

The whole AA thing is a Ponzi scheme, forcing people to focus on themselves, when the answer, with all the blessings with him, is Jesus Christ, the Anointed Savior who wants to save us yesterday, today, and forever.
