| not getting tired of AA, it works just fine
i was checking out the wikipedia, and i think AA is the best of all the 12 step programs do you agree? Overview Twelve-step methods have been adopted to address a wide range of substance abuse and dependency problems. Over 200 self-help organizations - known as fellowships - with a worldwide membership of millions, now employ twelve-step principles for recovery. Narcotics Anonymous was formed by people who did not relate to the specifics of alcohol dependency.[4] Similar groups now exist for sufferers of cocaine addiction: Cocaine Anonymous, as well as other specific drug addictions, such as Crystal Meth Anonymous and Marijuana Anonymous. Behavioral issues such as compulsion with and/or addiction to gambling, food, and sex are addressed in fellowships such as Gamblers Anonymous, Overeaters Anonymous and Sexual Compulsives Anonymous. Fellowships such as Al-Anon - for families and friends of the person with the addiction - are responses to what is identified by some mental health professionals as the problem of addiction as a disease that flourishes in and is enabled by family systems.[5] Other groups address problems with certain types of behaviors, including Clutterers Anonymous, Debtors Anonymous, and Workaholics Anonymous. francis |

I think the best 12 step program is the one that works for YOU. But the 12 step program itself is exactly what works best for me. |
