JohnH,

There are 12 step groups for just about everything. I looked in Google for
a 12 step group for NPD and found there are support groups for the victims
of NPD, but those with the illness rarely seek help. One of the problems
mentioned is those with NPD would always try to take advantage the other
members of the group.

I did find many links that warned people to be concerned if someone with NPD
makes a threat. It appears that NPD can be very dangerous if they feel
threatened.

When I first started using the Internet, my ISP warned about Security and
Privacy issues. I started using an anonymous ID for Internet Security and
financial info security, not personal security, after reading about NPD I
am glad I have always followed the advice of the experts. Hell would freeze
over before I would give any personal info to someone with NPD.

Harry,

Wither you are Christian or not, the concept of Jesus absolving one of
sins
is an excellent concept. It allows the person to acknowledge their faults
and sins, make amends if necessary, and free the burden of these "sins" or
faults from their soul, conscience or "back".

It is used by therapist and 12 step groups as part of the healing process.

It is one of the reasons why I am amazed at the knowledge and
understanding
of humanity shown by Jesus and/or his disciples when forming the early
church and writing the Gospels.

It really doesn't matter if you are a Christian or not, the Bible is an
excellent roadmap to live by.


I understand the Christian concept of absolution, but I've not been able
to figure out how Christians absolve themselves for sins against their
fellow man.

Are there 12-step groups for disorders *other* than addictions?
