    That's why the phrase Higher Power is emphasized as much as God. If I believed a box or rocks was my Higher Power then a box of rocks can help.

    So basically you just proved my point that God is the equivalent to a box of rocks and that its belief based not reality based. Whereas you could just as easily find the power within yourself to seek help rather than something else because its just as viable. Thanks!

    No it's not a power within myself, I would be getting my power from the box of rocks. The thing is to find a power greater than yourself. I choose it to be God.

    You're getting the power from the rocks because you....again YOU gave it value where no value previously existed so it was created within yourself. Nothing else gave the box of rocks power or value YOU did. Just as easily as you could have handed the power to yourself you chose to invalue something else.

    It all starts with you.

    My faith is ROCK solid and I don't give a hoot what all the naysayers say. Not today, not tomorrow, not ever. Carry on.
    And my last intervention was with one of my friends ex's before I got married.

    back to basics, 12 steps and a "Higher Power" has a good track record and I have seen it work in my own life. If you have another solution more power to you. Please start a recovery group based on your knowledge. However, there's no reason for you to try to on 12 steps to try to validate your own opinion. If you have another way, fantastic.

    I'm not ting on its effectiveness I'm pointing out how sad it is that society has evolved into a world where people are totally incapable of being responsible for their own actions...so much so that smoke and mirrors type solutions dominate recovery efforts.

    Off the wall point:

    Plain and simple they legalized the wrong drug. Weed is a thousand times safer than booze and wouldn't take half the rocovery efforts to get off. If any.

    So basically you are incapable of realizing the power of your own free will and its up to some illusional force to fix your life for you.

    Sounds like you need to grow up and take responsibility for yourself instead of expecting someone or some thing to do it for you.

    I hate people who use religion as a crutch for their own shortcomings. Be a man and step up and use your "GOD" given power of being able to decide things on your own two feet.

    Believe me if god were real he'd want you to do it for yourself and not rely on him doing it for you.

    The videos I posted above peg AA's success rate at about 5%, the same as the success rate for alcoholics who don't use it.

    Those who believe, believe. Those who don't, don't. Quit trying to convince each other that "your" way is right and "their" way is wrong.

    I'm simply pointing out that this society has relegated itself to a healing process based in myth and legend rather than be responsible for their own actions. This is a pretty fundamentally wrong aspect of being human.

    Its like your kids coming home and telling you that its not a big deal that they drink and smoke and generally act like bufoons because at some point they'll turn themselves over to a higher power and be healed of their wild ways.

    You'd tell them to STFU....grow up and be responsible and that its up to them to act accordingly.
