Suggestions from the unpeturbed please.
I go to a weekly Nar-Anon meeting and truly love it and the people who attend. This week we had a speaker who is an addiction specialist who specializes in family therapy.
He began with a story about the twelve steps. His story began talking about Dr. Bill and Bob and how AA and the twelve steps began back in 1930. He ended with telling us how his success rate with addicts is 65%.
For those who don't know, it was Dr. Bob and Bill. The twelve steps were not written in 1930. Lois didn't write the 'To wives' section of the Big Book - and no ones success rate is 65%.
I feel that some sort of action is necessary but I am perturbed that he gave a sales pitch for his practice under the guise of enlightening desperate people about recovery. That said, I am always wary of taking action when I am perturbed. So I would welcome some suggestions from the non-perturbed. Thanks.
