I asked myself that very question when I started alanon 4 yrs. ago. "Why would I work the steps if I am not an addict?" But I did work them and continue to practice them in all of my affairs and my life has improved significantly in ways I never imagined. All of my relationships have improved. I learned to take the focus off of the addict in my life and put it on myself. I understand that I am powerless over their addiction. I took a fearless inventory and saw my own character defects which I have slowly removed. If you really want to change your life the 12 steps can transform you. It takes time but it does work if you work it.
