[QUOTE="SuZir, post: 552423, member: 14557"] This I kind of disagree. I don't think relapse means that program isn't working. I would say, that you only see if something is working or not by taking a longer time frame and looking if maladaptive behaviour is getting more or less frequent. If the decrease of for example drinking is significant, I think it works. I mean, if for example someone goes to AA after drinking being out of control and (almost) daily for example two years. First they are sober one month. Their first relapse is six month. They come back and this time they are sober three months before relapsing. Then they drink again four months. Come back, are again sober three months relapse, but are back after a month. Then they make it to a year, relapse and drink again another year. Come back and make it a year again, but this time relapse is only two weeks. They are back and are sober two whole years and relapse for a weekend. And so on. I see that as a success story and meaning that AA is working for that person. [/QUOTE]
