I found this with Google News and thought it might be of interest:
Dealing with addiction: Japan's drinking problem | The Japan Times We admit we are powerless over alcohol and we need help to break the habit.
We will participate in meetings and speak frankly about ourselves.
We will reflect on our mistakes and accept the damage that alcohol has caused.
We will strive to change and create a new life for ourselves.
We will repent for the trouble we have caused our families and others.
We will help others struggling with alcohol abuse by sharing the joy of abstinence. — “Danshu no Chikai,” or “The Vow of Abstinence”
