Yes but they are really talking about habits/triggers there. They have another saying: "Wherever you go, there you are." The core assumption of twelve-step programs is that the problem is defects of character in the individual.
- DoreenMichele 5y agoIt's a known best practice. Best practices work well whether or not our ideas about why they work are accurate. I'm speculating that we don't fully understand why it works and it may be effective for reasons beyond habits/triggers.
- krageon 5y ago> defects of character Addiction can be a way to deal with problems that you are having, which is incredibly uncharitable to call a "defect of character". There's nothing wrong with using, there's perhaps something wrong with being destructive. Those two things are not at all the same.
- jeremyjh 5y agoThat is the terminology used by AA and derived twelve step programs. I didn't say I endorsed their world view.
