Above It All Treatment Center Twelve-step programs have long been an important
part of the recovery process and the basis for many recovery programs.
Developed over 65 years ago by a small group of alcoholics, the AA program
provides simple tools for living based on a set of spiritual principles and a reliance
on the fellowship of men and women who share their experience and offer support
as part of a lifelong process of recovery.
A Twelve-Step
Program is a set of guiding principles (accepted by members as
'spiritual principles,' based on the approved literature) outlining a course of
action for recovery from addiction, compulsion, or other behavioral problems.
Originally proposed by Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) as a method of
recovery from alcoholism, the Twelve Steps were first published in the book Alcoholics Anonymous
in 1939. The method was then adapted and
became the foundation of other twelve-step programs.
Twelve-step methods have been adopted to address a wide
range of substance-abuse and dependency problems. Step one involves releasing the denial,
defensiveness and victim mentality that often accompanies an addiction. Step
two focuses on optimism and belief in a solution and the possibility of
successful recovery. Step three deals with relinquishing the obsession with
control, another phenomenon that often accompanies addiction. It’s about
turning self-will over to a higher power. Step four greatly increases the
recovering addict’s self-awareness and moral center, helping to put life in a
different perspective. Ideally, this step would continue to develop throughout
the entire recovery process and for many years thereafter.
