It's only 12 steps from my computer desk to my bathroom. I live in a really small apartment.

The 12 steps are found in the Big Book of AA

There are a ton of recovering folks on this site. For ALL SORTS of addictions.

You don't have to be recovering to do the steps. Alanon and Nar-Anon do them too.

actually, in any addiction, whatever it is....the first three steps deal specifically with the physical part of the addiction...the rest of the steps are a "maintenance program", if you will..

You have to believe in a "higher power" ie "God". I don't & you do, so I doubt anything I can say would be helpful to you. If your belief in God helps you good, I don't want to disrespect it. Best wishes to you.

When people start accepting that they are responsable for thier actions, we won't need 12 steps or religion.

Nobody I know stays sober with a door knob as a higher power. That always gets taken out of context. A higher power that you can believe will help you stay sober, is required. Actually, the 12 steps lead you to responsiblity for your own actions.
