博客來Since Alcoholics Anonymous was founded in 1935, millions of people have benefited from what is commonly referred to as AA or ＂the program＂. A decentralized organization of anonymous members whose primary purpose is to quit drinking and to help others who are still suffering.
When people think about how to quit drinking alcohol, AA and the 12 step program is typically one of the most common methods to consider. Although it’s an anonymous program, there has been a lot of exposure to AA from movies, TV shows, and social media. Some portrayals are accurate, but many are not. Unfortunately, much of what gets communicated in the mainstream media, and social media, is lacking in context and perspective. This leads to a multitude of common misconceptions that keep people away from a transformational process.

Through the lens of compassion and 30 years of her own experiences, Arlina shares ideas that serve to remove barriers to entry to make the 12 steps accessible to those who want to quit drinking.
