Alternatives vs One Size Fits All In AddictionTreatment
I feel the time is ripe and that many are begining to arrive at the greater truth that addictin like other problems in life may be addressed in a variety of ways. I speak of this as their is still a rather large component of people who still believe that there is only one way and that is the AA way. I have nothing against AA, as that would defeat the whole premise that I am blogging about. But I am greatly concerned that for many this approach does not work and that we must become more of an open system that invites many forms and approaches for getting help so that people are not lost because they do not believe in one way or another. So I am seeking ideas, thoughts, and any relevant info that might lend itself creating a list of alternatives for those who seek another way. LifeRing had it's beginings largely because someone was seeking another way, another format, that he could join in so that he might become sober. I hope not to start an argument, but rather create a forum from which ideas may be culled that may help people from all walks of life and belief systems who seek recovery. Your thoughts and ideas are needed, so please take a moment to share them. Join us as we must fight this fight on all fronts. Nothing therefore would be worse than our becoming bog down and polarized in a my way is the right way mindset. Thank you for reading and I sincerely hope to hear your thoughts and ideas posted here to increase our fund of knowledge which in turn should help others.
