There are some pretty good documentary on youtube. Maybe find one that mirrors your situation and have him watch it. All the top rated autobiographies on bipolar amazon are great too. This one in particular would be good in your situation http://www.amazon.com/Madness-Bipolar-Life-Marya-Hornbacher/dp/0547237804/ref=sr_1_16?ie=UTF8&qid=1450505930&sr=8-16&keywords=bipolar
I am a big fan of Marya Hornbacher. In her early 20s she wrote [Madness: A Bipolar Life] (http://amzn.com/0547237804)
a harrowing account of her life with bipolar disorder combined with alcoholism.
She has subsequently got her life back in order and wrote [Sane: Mental Illness, Addiction, and the 12 Steps] (http://amzn.com/1592858244) documenting her recovery. I haven't read the book yet (although I would very much like to) but you might find something of value in it. I believe, like you, she found problems with AA.
If anyone has read it, I would love to hear what you made of it.
Edit: I found an excerpt [here.] (http://www.bhevolution.org/public/sane.page) It gives something of the flavor of the book which is based around Hornbacher's meditations on the 12 steps
