How many of you people out there with an addiction or addictions have been told that you just need to go to AA, NA, OA, SA, etc, and get the "problem" solved? If you are in any way like me you may have found that the "anonymous" groups and the 12 steps in general comprise a great framework to live your life by if you are "somewhat" healthy to begin with. Sorry to wax rhetorical but why is it that I see so much turnover in my AA groups? I estimate that the relapse or "failure" rate in the multitude of 12 step groups I attend is roughly 80 percent. I am sober today, because I am using everything at my disposal such as diet, exercise, supplements, medication, faith-based recovery and so on to put my disease in remission. I humbly ask you out there what combination or combinations of tools you have you used to rid yourselves of addictive diseases?
