I don't dismiss support programs for substance abusers. Once again,
apparently, you cannot comprehend what you read. What I did say is that
the religious-osity, as it were, of 12-step programs, is offputting to a
substantial percentage of substance abusers. There is significant
published criticism for various reasons of 12-step programs.
The hard choices an addict needs to make is the main thing that puts
them off. They just use "religious-osity" as one more excuse.
Gee, I'm glad you have so much experience dealing with the huge variety
of substance abusers and therefore feel qualified to state that those
who disdain the 12 steps approach because of religious reasons do so as
an excuse. Obviously, whatever your profession was, you chose
poorly...since you could have been a first-rate therapist.
