Being a recovering drug addict and alcoholic who suffered for around fifteen years wanting to stop but never being able too. Who is recovering daily from alcohol and drug abuse; the subject is one and which I now labor hard in. There are many who claim to have a cure all for drugs and alcohol. But if you ask any suffer whose recovering most will credit the twelve steps of recovery. I have attended at least one meeting a day for the last four years and I live and the fourth largest metropolitan area in the United States. And most of the large treatment centers bring there patience to at least one meeting doing their stay.

Most that deal with drug and alcohol abuse believe it to be a disease of addiction as the late Dr.William Silworth related to Bill Wilson around 1935 the beginning of A. A. But Bill Wilson himself credits the fellowship beginning back to when One Roland H.vist to Dr.Carl Jung, who told Roland H. I have seen few who suffer the way you do recover but those who have recovered speak of some form of moral physiology.DrJung went on to explain to Roland this form of treatment is old as man himself happens every know and then, my advice to you is to lock yourself up.

So we can see the treamentof addiction is no small matter many have died never recovering to those of us who have recovered we value this precious gift, the gift of sobriety is easily achieved when the steps of recovery are embraced with a strong desire by the suffer. It has been proven over and over again for about seventy-five years that the best treatment for a drunk is another drunk arm with the facts above him and a love for the steps and great concern for any suffer who accepts his extended hand.

OK what does the twelve steps exactly do for the suffer it give the suffer and avenue to a higher power or as some of us say God, that's piratical while at the same time it ask the alcoholic to do something know real alcoholic likes to do take a honest look at himself, and stop blaming others for his condition. No one has experience the blame game the way a counselor of a treatment center has all will say that the alcoholic has enghout blame to go around for why he drinks. From it being the wife, childern, in-laws parents, if they would only move the store.

To understand this you have to better understand the disease of addiction it a three fold disease that affects the mind the body and the soul of the a disease that affects man in three core areas of his make
