Yeah, I didn't get the impression that he was exactly pro-AA, but more into
exploring the feeling of "lost will" (within a culture of easy and discreet
access to entertainment).  Also, for DFW, I can imagine the kind of genuine
sorrow and submissiveness people express in AA meetings would certainly seem
interesting, as one of the big points in IJ is about the other half of the
novel's characters' (especially the ETA kids') inability to be genuine. 
Which, in my opinion, the whole question of genuineness that he directs
toward pop culture <snip>
