COMMENT OF THE WEEK
Watch Your Steps
This week, Joe Nowinski made the case for why AA is OK. As always, readers gave a piece of their mind regarding AA's 12 step methodology:
A cognitive behavioral therapist would not have someone list defects and shortcoming, insist on turning over their wrongs to a higher power, and then insist they become dependent on a group. William R. Miller ranked AA 37 and TSF 38 behind 36 other treatment modules. Identifying one's self with the label "alcoholic" limits a person to actual recovery, which would be better if one said "I used to be an alcoholic"... Instead, we have people in AA identifying as alcoholics with 30 years not drinking. That is like having a cancer patient with 30 years remission continue support groups while still identifying as a cancer sufferer. Many in AA groups, especially in a treatment center, will give raving reviews in order to "cooperate." Project Match lacked a control group. The only reason AA is first and highly recommended is due to how large (how many meetings it has) it is and not because it works. It is not strange that many have committed suicide as a result of those steps... what is strange is that anyone would call listing wrongs, defects and shortcomings and insisting one cannot think for themselves is "healthy."
