Rational Recovery - No "Higher Power" necessary

Be interesting to see how their rates of success compare with AA, etc. Most programs seem to have pretty dismal ones overall

For the well-informed, recovery is realized to be a lifelong process. Rehab actually has good success rates, but relapse is part of the reality of getting better. Each individual takes a different amount of intervention. I have worked with people who needed only one round. Others were successful long term after five. If there are any underlying problems like mental illness or chronic pain, success is more likely if these are addressed. Moe Armstrong was a substance addicted, homeless Vietnam veteran with schizophrenia. After being in recovery for a while, he now has an MBA and runs a mental health clinic in Connecticut. I could give stats and two dozen more people to Google, but my husband is asking me to put away my smartphone.

well I tried all that for years and it didn't work until I 'surrendered' not to a higher power per se but to the DIS-ease..but what the frack do I know after 30 years of addiction?(clean now for 2)
