Most alcoholics and addicts are resistant to working the steps because there still trying to do it there way. The ego always come back and tries to get the sick person to not want to work the steps because the steps are the solution to the problem. It leads to a spiritual experience which leads to day at a time living and recovery. Not working the steps and sitting in meetings and sharing war stories is not what it;s about its about a higher power. No human power my friend no human power! God!
The first 100, 98% effective... Get the real message from AA not what people push or think about it. AA saved my life. In my experience. Every person I know who did the steps properly ARE STILL CLEAN AND RECOVERED!!!!
I find it my personal responsibility to spread the news to the still sick and suffering "addicts" out there that 12 step programs are harmful ineffective brain washing cults that steal your hope, your free will and your life!
@richardhutnik no one knows. I looked and read a lot on this. Critics say success is only 5%. That was based on an internal AA report which was leaked. It claimed that after 1 year of AA only 5% of people were in the program and sober, I believe. Look up on google. Now, this may be unfair, there may be other explanations. I read a great book "the kidnapped mind" which deals with worldwide studies of success rates of all forms of treatment.
TO ALL SEEKING HELP WITH DRUG ADDICTION: You need to look into treatment with a drug called Ibogaine. Ibogaine is an addiction interruptor, not a maintenance drug like methadone or suboxone. Ibogaine will stop your withdrawal,elevate your mood, and stop cravings. I have Ibogaine videos faved on my chanel. It is not legal in the U.S., but there are clinics in Mexico. Two I know of are 1. Dream House 2. Villa Serena. Good luck to all!!
10 I allowed a bunch of angry self proclaimed alcoholics to continuously break down my will.
11. I was told to speak with an invisible man in the sky or my toaster and ask them what to do on every decision that I made. When I told the sponsor that my toaster and invisible man did not answer me, he said that he heard them talking. He said that he had years of experience and so he could hear the invisible voices. I then, did want he told me, the voices were telling me to do.
