This isn’t meant to sound judgy exclusive Or harsh but as someone who’s has years of sobriety from alcoholism because of AA I often feel a little…hijacked as far as the 12 step model goes. I won’t say that only
Alcoholics get to have 12 step groups but it seems like anyone can take the 12 steps (created for alcoholism and addiction) substitute any issue and bam a support group has formed. And there’s no one you can just call to get clarification about the literature, no CEO or Mr AA to call and no group or agency that oversees the whole process. So when you are talking about something triggering or psychological etc a 12 step model I don’t feel that peers are as qualified to dispense advice and guidance when the principles are addiction based. I know it works for many so this is just my opinion
