I find it ironic that Brad Pitt is going to a men's only group of AA after starring in "Fight Club," where (no spoilers!) group therapy, and in particular men's group therapy, was a huge part of the story.

IIRC Bradly Cooper got sober in his 20s after realizing alcohol was going to ruin him. I quit much later but wish I had done it already in my teens! I quit cold turkey but I realize that is not possible for most people. I wish Mr. Pitt all the luck in the world on his path.
