[QUOTE="klmno, post: 234711, member: 3699"] I think it doesn't matter (although I'm sure some of it is genetic), the bottom line is what is effective in helping the person turn their life around when they have the problem and want help with it. The 12 step programs have helped an astronomical amount of people. I heard of programs years ago where they tried to treat alcoholics by making them drink their favorite beverage until they threw up repetetively or tried to convince you that you just needed to make a decision and stop and you were weak if you couldn't. I don't think those places had a very good success rate and closed down. If I new anyone who had a problem and was seeking help, I would encourage them to try the "tried and true" methods first.
