But why do members of AA have to believe the 12 Step Program of Recovery based on either epistemic or beneficial reasons?

Epistemic: relating to knowledge.

Cannot the 12 Step Program of Recovery be based on faith?

Let us take a look at some theories of faith in order to see the problems of believing on faith.

“Big Bills” theory is representative of a traditional conception of faith.
In his view, faith is not opposed to reason but is in some respects guided by it.

What is your plan for sobriety?

I will now prove that the AA ‘God as We understand Him’ Exists.
1. God as we understand Him if He is Omnipotent
2. God as we understand Him if He is Omniscience
3. God as we understand Him if He is Wholly Good
4. EVIL caused from alcoholism exist in the world
5. Therefore God as we understand Him exist
There is something very wrong with the above
Can you fix it?

Don't drink, do as you please.

If a ‘God as we understand Him’ exists, would a belief in this God offer a sound foundation for moral values and duties based on facts rather than thoughts or opinions?

Can the alcoholic base his/her sobriety on a plan that includes a“Don’t drink, do as you please”concept?

Why not?
I did it.

I will never attend another AA meeting; I will never change my mind.

Think!

Sober-man: I am arguing that discipline can, {in my opinion}, help us understand what we should do and should want-and, therefore, what other people should do and should want in order to live the best lives possible.

The “Big Bills” of AA is arguing that ‘God as we understand Him’ can, {in their opinion} help us understand what we should do and should want-and, therefore, what other people should do and should want in order to live the best lives possible.
