Very good stuff. I have seen all three in meetings I have attended, with a lot less emphasis on the psychological view. I think this is too bad, as studies have shown that working a program along with therapy is often the most beneficial IIRC (If I remember correctly). However, many addicts and alcoholics do not suffer from mental disorders and although therapy helps them in their recovery the illnesses should not be the focus in meetings.

On first glance, these are my opinions.
