I meant no disrespect to AA. Obviously that program works as well for those -- well -- for whom it works. Which is true of both programs. One program identifies a particular substance as the problem. The other deals with addiction in every form.czarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10887869458750797012noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5090979633822979041.post-53967478635568286442012-01-02T14:12:28.204-05:002012-01-02T14:12:28.204-05:00Your orange tie is THE color of 2012!

I do think, though, that NA is a vast improvement over AA, but people don't know it as well. It deals more with the underlying problem. I've heard NA people refer to their AA experience as comprising three suggestions: meetings, marijuana, and masturbation. <br /><br />@Aunty: Happy new year to you, too.
