JohnH,
I thought that is what Harry said, but I was too lazy to go back and read the original post. Sometimes the thread becomes too boring to bother, but you are absolutely correct, many people are able to treat their addictions without therapy and other assistance. Some of these people use a 12 Step Program, some don't. Many people find Christianity as a source of strength to help them over their addictions. I am sure that offended some of the Non Christians in the group. "John H." wrote in message ...

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. More amateur hour? If you fell seriously ill with multiple symptoms and had no idea what was causing them, would you seek professional help or would you start playing guessing games with the data on internet sites? Sometimes a 12-step program will provide the support an addict needs, but that addict also will need therapy and other assistance. 12-stepping is no substitute for therapy. You've much to learn 12-step programs. The question was whether or not a 12-step program helped disorders *other* than addictions. Although not specifically addressed, the question of NPD was answered by Reggie. Do you have other information? -- John Herring I would agree that 12-step programs help *some* sufferers of various addictions with support. The "addiction" 12-step programs are support groups. That's better. -- Better? It's no different than my original position. All the 12-step programs offer is support. It takes a lot more than "support" for most addicts to kick their habits. Are you a graduate of a 12-step support group? You earlier stated an addict 'will need therapy and other assistance' in addition to a 12-step program. That was not a true statement. Are you seeking more personal information for your data base? -- John Herring Hope your Christmas is Spectacular! ...and your New Year even Better! |
