12 step programs only work for those that want help.....trust me I know, I was in one many moons ago when I was younger for a coke problem (we are talking like 16 years ago) they are a joke to people who dont want to stop.
true story.....ex hubby's g/f had to go to them by order of the court, I agreed to go to one with her, she sneered at everyone there, made fun of them then tried to get in my car and light up. And, I kid you not, there were people in this group that I'd known 15 years earlier from my own group....still there by court order.
Watch the movie clean and sober with micheal keaton (old movie from the 80's), its very true to life, and the most significant scene in there was where MK's sponsor told him that until he hits rock bottom he will not want to help himself....and for his sponsor rock bottom was the day he stood in front of a mirror bashing his nose in with a hammer. The movie will help give you a little perspective on what you're dealing with and some lengths people will go to....even when they are in a 12 stepper.
