[QUOTE="Kathy813, post: 552445, member: 1967"] I don't think our forum has ever been a my way or the highway forum. We have had these discussions before. My difficult child does not like the deity-based AA meetings since she is an atheist. We found something called Smart Recovery meetings that she went to for a while but they are hard to find. They are non 12-step based groups with a lot of cross-talk and sharing which we both liked. My difficult child's DBT counselor doesn't like AA/NA meetings because she thinks they are very judgemental. Many around here do not believe that an addict should take any medications which doesn't work for someone like my difficult child who needs medications for her mood disorder. That said, I think that AA/NA has helped many people find the road to recovery. As other posters have said, I don't think there is a one-size fits all kind of answer. The only reason those threads were closed was that OP started out being very judgemental and had an attitude that he had the only correct answer. I think we are always open to a civilized discussion of options. ~Kathy [/QUOTE]
