I'm all the time hearing about the abysmal addiction recovery statistics. One of the most common ways people try to help themselves get better from an addiction is to go to 12 step recovery groups like Alcoholics Anonymous and Narcotics Anonymous.

Now do you think that's because of the nature of addiction or is that because the nature of the 12 step program? I want to know what you think in the comments below.
