AAA, which originates from the USA, offers a solid and tested spiritual programme of action, based on the Twelve Steps.
Marcel Plodzien-Odendaal, director at the Minnesota House Treatment Centre for alcohol and chemical dependency, says that at AAA they share their experiences, hope and courage and do not tell people what to do. "We are all in recovery ourselves due to one or more addictions and therefore we judge no one."
Marcel says AAA is for you if you suffer from one of the following conditions:
- Are you struggling to quit drinking, narcotic drugs, gambling, prescription drugs, erotic pictures, television or dvd's, an addictive relationship, nicotine or any other addiction?
- Is your addiction causing problems, making you feel your life is becoming unmanageable?
- Are you starting to lose control and do things you regret?
- Feeling despair, hopelessness or even have suicidal thoughts due to your habitual patterns?
