Episode 134: The Pros and Cons of AA Quoth the Camser
-
- Mental Health
Whether you're for or against the 12-step program of Alcoholics Anonymous, there can be no doubt that, for some, it works. I'm one of those people for whom it works ... so far. It did what I needed it to do - gave me a blueprint for not picking up a drink for a day at a time. Those days have now added up to more than 16 years, for the first 10 of which I was a regular AA attender.
These are some rambly thoughts that were inspired by an interesting tweet thread I read that was started by Curtis Evans. See the link below to the original tweet.
