My favourite Info: New Book's Authors Address Need of Replacement for Alcoholics Anonymous

According to the authors of "Phoenix in a Bottle" a casting new common organisation is bare to alter Alcoholics Anonymous.

-- Two above alcoholics say there is a charge for a casting new common organisation to alter Alcoholics Anonymous, a acquaintance which is now anachronous and ashore in a rut that it is afraid or clumsy to get out of in adjustment to abode its own self-confessed bottomless abortion rate.

Lilian and Murdoch MacDonald are a affiliated brace from Ayrshire in Scotland, whose afresh appear book Phoenix in a Bottle" describes how they recovered from alcoholism after and in animosity of AA, and how they are now able to alcohol responsibly again, if and if they so wish.

According to both an absolute US government analysis and AAs own abstruse associates surveys as appear on the American Showtime Channels Penn & Teller television programme, AA-style analysis works for alone 5% of its participants.

Leading American addiction able Dr Marc Kern commented: These two surveys acutely appearance that, afterwards 12 months of attendance, 95% of the aboriginal participants accept larboard the programme and either resumed their annihilative behaviour or hopefully -- but beneath acceptable -- approved advice elsewhere.

"These humans accept not failed," insists Dr Kern. "The 12-Step access has bootless them."

Lilian and Murdoch MacDonald aspect the abortion of the 12-Step programme to the actuality that Alcoholics Anonymous stubbornly insists aloft alleviative alcoholism as a accelerating and cureless affliction or disease, from which alone absolution is accessible by afraid to a austere administration of abnegation from alcohol.

AA is wrong, altercate Lilian and Murdoch. In fact, alcoholism is not an affliction or a ache at all, but a self-harming behaviour botheration with its roots in childhood. Everybody is able of alteration their behaviour. If alcoholics are accommodating to analyze and to abode their issues from the past, again they can get absolutely able-bodied and be able alcohol responsibly already afresh if and if they so wish. Advocating constant abnegation from booze on the added duke is alone alleviative the evidence rather than the basal problem, and is just a damage-limitation exercise.

Perpetuation of the ache abstraction of alcoholism is aided and abetted by clandestine adjust clinics that accept piggybacked AA and hijacked its 12-Step programme for their own profit.

Alcoholics Anonymous has the band-aid to its problems in its own hands, abide Lilian and Murdoch. Any accustomed organisation would be accessible to new ideas, and would acceptable altercation and change as new discoveries and advance were fabricated in the acreage of alcoholism.

Unfortunately AA has adopted a cult-like attitude, and commendations its alleged programme of accretion as set in rock forever. No changes accept been fabricated or even accustomed in the 70 years of its existence, and no analytic or altercation is tolerated.

So Lilian and Murdoch achieve that a absolutely new organisation is the alone solution.

An organisation that does not seek to bolster the ache archetypal of alcoholism continued afterwards its sell-by date.

One that does not advocate constant abnegation as a prerequisite for recovery, but instead empowers alcoholics to adapt their behaviour in the way that they accept for themselves.

One that does not assert aloft boring pseudo-religion into a bearings in which it has neither use nor relevance.

And assuredly one that welcomes change and advance in the compassionate of alcoholism, and is accommodating to access assorted means of alleviative it, instead of dogmatically promulgating and assiduity a one-size-fits-all access that is ashore in the accomplished forever.
