“I think the thing that really gets to me the most, the thing that angers me the most, is how almost everybody connected with the drug and alcohol treatment industry just assumes that the whole 12-step program works great, and is the answer to everything, and really does help lots of people. The so-called “counselors” are nothing but disguised cult recruiters who shove their 12-step religion on everybody they can, and they simply assume that if you are recovering from drug or alcohol problems, then you will of course become a happily-converted member of their 12-step religion that they won’t admit is a religion. And they have the gall to charge your health insurance for their religious proselytizing.”
