Does Alcoholics Anonymous Work?
Alchoholics and Narcotics Anonymous are recovery programs centered around the working of twelve steps. In AA/NA it is recommended you obtain a “sponsor,” or someone with a working knowledge of the book and twelve steps. This “sponsor” will work with you through the twelve steps and help you lay a foundation for a successful recovery. Attending meetings is also central to recovery through AA/NA. At meetings recovering alcoholics and addicts can become part of a community, and fellowship with like-minded individuals.
