The Steps Offer Solutions
I have worked in the field of addictive illness for most of my professional life. In the beginning I worked as a community health nurse developing prevention programs for school-age children, later as a nurse counselor in treatment centers, and most recently as a counselor in private practice. At first, Alcoholics Anonymous was little more than a resource for speakers who could share their stories and experiences with the students. Later, in the treatment centers, which were twelve-step programs, I began to sit in on meetings and listened to the real significance of AA. I liked what I heard at those meetings. Then I read the literature, especially the Big Book, which gave me a better understanding of the principles of the program. As I began to listen and absorb the philosophy, I could see that AA had a way of life to offer many people, alcoholic or not.
