I like 12 step work. It isn't just drinking for me. To change a destructive routine is to change my actions and how I deal with everyday situations. I am using the 12 steps to tear down my current emotional process and rebuild it, learning to deal with stress, death, anger, loneliness, and all those other yucky things. They collect up in me because I don't deal with them. I numb them. 12 step makes me face them. Quitting drinking for me was pretty simple. What's left is what the program is for. I think it only mentions drinking in the first step.
