Everyone Can Learn from the Twelve Steps
The struggles and emotional problems addicts face are no different from those experienced by anyone else. Psychologists say life becomes problematic when there is a lack of harmony between ideas and feelings. A person with a phobia of crowds logically knows there is nothing really dangerous there, but has anxiety or panic as though something terrible were about to happen. These symptoms are a result of emotions, not logic. The Twelve Steps of AA are excellent guidelines for nonaddicts as well.
