This is a place where people can have safe and supportive discussions about their journey with a 12 step program.
This is not a place to discuss your views about whether 12 step programs work or are right for everyone. This is only for the support of people who are currently in a 12 step program, or who would like to be, or who benefited from their time with the 12 steps in the past. Enjoy! DocJohn

Thank you for this DocJohn. I was in a 12 step group that was not AA. It did wonders for me. I would be still attending had I not moved and there is not one in my area. People need a place to able to express their positive experiences.

If I am right this is a new section and thank you for it. My experience in AA most likely saved my life. I love the philosophy.

I would like say that AA has helped me and I have 24 plus years of sobriety now.

Hello everyone. I'm new to PsychCentral. I struggle with a drinking problem and just made an appointment to get counseling/treatment. I know working the AA program will be part of that journey. I have tried AA in the past but stopped going because I was too shy to share. Will I ever get over this fear? I'm going to try again and I wanna have that courage to share and truly connect with others this time. Any advice on how I can go about doing this would be much appreciated. Thank you.

Do the 12 steps vary depending on what type of addiction you have?

In my experience they are all the same no matter what twelve step group. Except the first one. "We admitted we were powerless over alcohol and our lives had become unmanageable." Just substitute alcohol for anything. The rest are the same.
Some religious groups might do a variation of them but AA, NA, CA, MA, over eaters, gambling....all the same. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
