Thank you so much!There needs to be more info on Rational recovery.
I have gotten into some heated discussions on recovery forums about the family disease model. It would be absurd for me to say that any of my friends & family have this disease because of dealing with my drinking. The only time I can think of where someone has long standing emotional damage from someone’s addiction is if their parents were active addicts during their upbringing, but they would be victims of neglect or abuse – not of addiction as a family disease.
This needs much wider attintion!! 5/5
JACK you are almost my hero but I’ve heard you made some comments that need a bit more reseach to make it conclusive> i have been looking for the BEAST,and somehow there is little evidence actually none that talks to your.I am glad you are around.You at least started puting some questions into AA.I understand the beast concept,but you are going to have quite a time finding this beast.How much research and statistic have you taken in you MastersSocialWorkers.Ur NSWers not well know for research.
Yea Jack you are having as much annectdotal data than actual impirical research.When you start paying attention to it.You outcomes maybe improving much better than AA.You are going in the right direction.BUT LOOK UP PSEUDOSCIENCE you do not want to fall in that category>i admire your work too much>
terrible toupee….
Jack, you’re even embarrassing to other con artists in the recovery field. you still look the old alkie con and you can barely make a buck anymore. don’t you have any shame knowing we all know you’re a hustler and a cheap dumb one.
Look into Dr. Nora Volkow she is the director oh the National Drug Abuse Institute in Bellhaven NY. She is using brain imaging technology to show how drugs and alcohol are a brain disease are damaging the part of the brain that tells you stop doing this. She also states a treatment needs to be at least 90 days. Addiction and alcoholism are very similiar and can be treated. Cost is a problem for most people.
My hat comes off to you Jack, that you have deal with the politics of the 12 Step Repressive “Treatment”. They run the mother fucker as it they were minimu security prisoners. I can event call it treatment. To me treatment has to do with scientific research and the religious indoctrination of the 12 step
There’s actually a lot of info online…I don’t claim to be an authority on RR. Basically it seems to be a psychological approach rather than a spiritual approach. To me…whichever works for you is what you should do. However you get it…you should get it. I don’t even say One Day At A time…I am NEVER getting loaded again…that’s it.
