There is no "One Way"

There are many different ways.

I hope you find what works for you.

SMART Recovery®:

• Teaches self-reliance rather than reliance on a higher power
• Views addiction as a complex maladaptive behavior rather than as a disease
• Encourages you to recover and move on with your life
• Does not use the labels "alcoholic" or "addict"
• Does not have "sponsors"
• Holds meetings which are actual discussions rather than a series of monologues
• Advocates the appropriate use of prescribed medications and psychological treatments
• Evolves as scientific knowledge evolves

"The (addicted) woman is attacked not only for her failure at motherhood, but for her abandonment of more general nurturing and caretaking functions that are at the core of the female role. 'Good' women are primarily concerned with the needs and welfare of others... and when women are no longer willing or able to serve.... - even for reasons beyond (their) control -- the response is usually not support or sympathy...."

"AA-Not the Only Way" responds to the growing demand from recovery experts, recent court rulings, problem drinkers and drug addicts for a global resource directory of alternative treatments. This book compares and contrasts many different drug and alcohol problem treatment modalites so the client can better choose which program best suites his or her needs. In addition, contact information is provided for over 100 licensed professionals and treatment facilities that go beyond the traditional 12-step method, throughout the United States and overseas. This is the first-ever comprehensive global resource guide that tells counselors and sufferers alike what their options are and where to find them.

The Definitive Guide to Personal Growth, Self Improvement and Self-Help

People do recover, every single day. By many different means and methods, those who suffer from mental illness, alcoholism and addictions, eating disorders, grief and loss-through all of life's issues, people do get better. They rarely do it alone. If help is what you seek, we hope you'll find it here.

It is the philosophy of this author that any and all recovery programs that help you to maintain abstinence from alcohol and other substances of abuse are legitimate.  In fact, modern research (e.g. Project MATCH ) has found that no form of addiction treatment is superior to any other.  In this spirit, Recovery Net intends to take an eclectic approach to the treatment of addictions.  For this, it coins the name ECLECTIC RECOVERY (ER).  Good luck in your quest to enjoy the benefits, freedoms, and comforts of a life in recovery.  R2  (anonymous author of Recovery Net).
