[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 325652, member: 1514"] CVA...Im with you on the it depends. Maybe I am very thin skinned on this issue. I dont know exactly how a twelve step program would work for a mental health problem. I really cant imagine it doing much. I tried OA twice and both groups were stupid in my opinion. I couldnt imagine how they would ever help anyone when you werent allowed to even talk about FOOD! Ive never been to AA but I would assume you can say alcohol or I wouldnt think it would work well...but maybe not. Who knows. I dont think Im a huge fan of 12 steps... I dont know if self help is considered only doing things by yourself or if self help is considered seeking out help for yourself. I think in the beginning I would rather seek out help one on one rather than be in a group...or be in a one on one situation in addition to attending a group but if dealing with a mental illness, I dont think a 12 step program would be the ideal group.
