The Alcoholism and Addiction Cure: Understand the Concept
I really understand the concept of the book. I went through traditional treatment, am still clean, but I found it nothing but the teachings of the 12 step program.
I feel each person needs to find that works for them. The legal system uses 12 step as free therapy. I am mandated by a dmv supervision to attend 12 step meetings. I was never given a choice for my treatment.
This book makes sense with your methods of treating addicts. I see too many people trying 12 step groups over and over and not getting well. I have always believed that people need to deal with their issues to stop using. I am tired of being told that the 12 step method is the only way to recover. Doing that is like saying that only one form of medicine works for everyone. It's time to stop mandating people into meetings.
