Twelve Step Programs

A twelve-step program is a set of guiding principles outlining a course of action for recovery from addiction, compulsion, or other behavioral problems. Originally proposed by Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) as a method of recovery from alcoholism, the Twelve Steps were first published in the book, Alcoholics Anonymous: The Story of How More Than One Hundred Men Have Recovered From Alcoholism in 1939. The method was then adapted and became the foundation of other twelve-step programs. As summarized by the American Psychological Association, the process involves the following:

  • admitting that one cannot control one's addiction or compulsion;
  • recognizing a higher power that can give strength;
  • examining past errors with the help of a sponsor (experienced member);
  • making amends for these errors;
  • learning to live a new life with a new code of behavior;
  • helping others who suffer from the same addictions or compulsions.

Should bigots be forced into an intervention and undergo a Twelve Step Program to rid them of homophobia?
Q. FUCKIN' HELL. This question is a JOKE. A funny, whimsical joke to upset the bigots.

A. I don't know if we should exactly step down to their level, but somethings gotta give. And Legs wide open babe...I think thats your name, the one who qouted Leviticus, maybe you should quit going to church on Sunday, and then spitting out hate and hypocrisy throughout the other 6 days of the week, then asking for forgiveness that next Sunday. I am a former youth pastor, and gay. I still hold the powers in the State of Illinois (marry, bury, etc) and I have been to alot of seminars etc to know that Leviticus is for Israelites...in case you haven't noticed we aren't Israelites, even if we were your taking it out of context, the bible isn't a buffet where you find the scriptures that you can throw at everyone. Stop taking it out of context… [cont.]

In 2007, particularly in the US, has shopping and mall crawling become for some a religious experience?
Q. I know some people who are literally addicted to shopping. Every day they must buy something, whether off TV or the Internet ( with a credit card) or from a store. Of course the pleasure only lasts for a little while, and then they must have something new. The Twelve Step programs hold that addictions are an unhealthy substitute for a spiritual connection. Have you ever thought about this? Your opinion will be appreciated.

A. Shopping is addictive and it provides pleasure. There probably is some correlation between the good feelings people get from buying things -- the shopping high -- and the good feelings people get from being religious. Perhaps people participate in both to fill voids in their lives. Interestingly enough, there is a movie coming out to explore this question. The subject is Reverend Billy and his church of Stop Shopping. The same fellow that made the expose on McDonalds is the director -- Spurlock. It is titled: What Would Jesus Buy.

Price: $10.36 USDCompare Prices
Condition: new

Stephanie S. Covington, Ph.D. and LCSW, presents the companion to her book A WOMAN'S way through the twelve steps. Covington, a clinician at the Betty Ford Center, continues with her uniquely feminine take on the Twelve Steps of Alcoholics Anonymous. Not just a rewording of the steps, Covington's method walks women through their own gender-specific problems in the recovery from addiction. This guide addresses each step in turn, with a discussion of its meaning, and then offers exercises the reader can use to enhance her work in any recovery program. A section on ways of self-soothing, and cultivating an attitude of thankfulness toward others, accompanies the plan for each step. A kind, friendly tone makes this workbook not only practical but also pleasant for readers on the way back to health of the body, mind, and spirit.
