Lindsey 0 #16 December 11, 2007 I figure when it's down to doing the 12-step thing or being dead, the 12-step thing is probably the better option.

And luckily, doing the 12-step thing or being dead are not the only two options for addicts. (Though unfortunately, that is what most treatment programs will tell them.)

Dot know about there, but here inOZ, there are many promoted methods of getting and staying clean. If fact a lot of money is made trying to convince people to NOT do 12 step programs. 12 Step programs are not for everyone, but they do work and work they well for those who work it.You are not now, nor will you ever be, good enough to not die in this sport (Sparky) My Life ROCKS!
