How is it a “treatment for addiction” or “drug abuse?” From Wikipedia: “A twelve-step program is a set of guiding principles (accepted by members as ‘spiritual principles,’ based on the approved literature) outlining a course of action for recovery from addiction, compulsion, or other behavioral problems… The method was then adapted and became the foundation of other twelve-step programs. Twelve-step methods have been adopted to address a wide range of substance-abuse and dependency problems.” The importance of this video, and all our other videos, are to show that recovery IS possible and to give hope to those who are struggling with substance abuse issues.
