The biggest cause of failure lies in the individual being treated, many are forced into recovery and that is rarely successful.

I remember when judges started sentencing people to attend A.A. meetings. A complete waste of everybody's time.

You can’t force anybody to do something and be successful. I went through an AA designed recovery program and went from 2 gallons of whisky a week to zero. I will give them all the credit for pulling that one off, I couldn’t do it by myself. The kicker was I went to them on my own, nobody wanted to quit drinking more than I did. That’s the key you have to want to quit!
