12 Step groups

[Guest guest]

Namaste All,

 

12 step groups are useful to some people. However they can also tend t

o turn into the worst 'group think', cult-like situations as well.

 

After I had not drank for about 4 years, a friend talked me into going

for a few months. I must say the stories were entertaining,in a

pythonesque kind of way, and it was a framework for a 'no excuses' to

drink kind of thing.

 

I was lucky I suppose that it was meditation that took me off alcohol,

even though I was a pretty functional dependent, and may have just

had a developed habit. I just meditated everyday and reduce my intake

unitl it was one drink a day, then I stopped permanently.

 

As Jung said he never met a spiritual person that needed a

psychiatrist............ONS......Tony.
