"When we became alcoholic, crushed by a crisis of our own making".

“Danny needs to stop whining and blaming others for his problems, get his butt to a meeting and listen for awhile... “
The twelve step program doesn’t work for everyone that has an addiction. He has been in recovery numerous times and yet he keeps rolling off the wagon. Some hold the idea that one must struggle recovering from addiction and see it as a constant battle with which they must forever struggle. I think some aspects of the twelve step program are self defeating but I am glad for each and everyone that is able to maintain their sobriety through these programs. The “Rational Recovery” approach (Jack Trimpey) seems to be helpful to many.
