It is an awesome faith-based (Christ-based!) addictions program. The program meets every Friday night, has three "talks," including (1) Talking to God through praise and lifting up prayer requests, (2) talking to each other in private groups discussions that are divided up by males and females if not age groups and (3) Talking to God through a message. The first workbook goes through the fruits of the Holy Spirit so it is great for other Christians too. The emphasis is on having a personal relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ, walking with Him day by day, and learning to yield to the Holy Spirit instead of the flesh. It meets across the United States AND it is international! It is Bible based and encourages us to go to church, to read our Bibles, and then to not just read Scripture, but to STUDY it. Not to mention there is even a push for soul-winning, but the key is not on performing, not on looking like Christians, but on getting to know the Lord and walking with Him. Has anyone here ever heard of it or gone through it? Crystal 2 Cor 12:9-10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow, seriously? Where I'm at, AA is just what JCISGD said....and it's sad.... Two in New Zealand? Awesome. I'm almost done with the first workbook and it has helped me so much spiritually because it's not just a program, it's the basis of it... it's getting to know the Lord.

Yes, the same holds true for here - very faith based and God centered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got involved in it by accident five years ago when a friend from my church where I used to live invited me to attend to see what it was about. It is truly a life changing program, whether one has an addiction or not. Anyone can learn and grow from it. And if you have a serious addiction, you will be set free by The Word. And learn pertinent Bible verses that will stay with you throughout your entire life that will help you in times of need. More churches in America should get involved with this program.

The same goes for the AA program where I live. Your "higher power" can be any religious idol or icon, or whatever you want it to be. The program is not a Bible based program.
