Quitting Is Not An Option

Some people criticize the Twelve Step program because it fosters dependence instead of stimulating self-sufficiency. But this view can come only from someone who does not understand the program. The fact that so many people have recovered by virtue of the Twelve Step program indicates that it does not negate responsibility. It is only after our own resources are exhausted that we can ask and receive help from our Higher Power and colleagues. To those who are critical of this approach I ask, What would you recommend we do when all our energies have been exhausted? Quitting is not a viable option."
