If there is a difference between alcoholism and drug addiction, it does not seem to be a very significant one. Both alcoholics and addicts experience the compulsion and obsession..

We died of pneumonia in furnished rooms where they found us three days later when somebody complained about the smell.

We died against bridge abutments and nobody knew if it was suicide and we probably didn't know either except in the sense that it was always suicide.

A.A.: Not Religious, Not a Cult
When all the wrangling about A.A. is through, all I know is that it has given me the gift of sobriety.

Because what I am is alcoholic. Whenever I drink, I drink like a drunk.

12-step meetings are one of the primary "tools of recovery." 12-step programs are comprised of groups that meet at designated times and days of the week. Some groups meet more than once per week.

There are currently over 200 12 step groups in the world. Many of us today have multiple addictions, and many of us find it difficult if not impossible to take each addiction to a meeting designed specifically for that addiction.
