You're just plain, simply wrong. Obviously, you don't know the first thing about AA/NA. There is no belief system involved. It is much more like Buddhism and Buddha's attitude. It is a way to the alleviation of suffering. In Buddhism, the cause of suffering is desire - attachment. Addiction is a more profound degree of attachment. The 12 Steps are a 'ladder of attainment' model in which one systematically detaches from addictive behavior and at the lower rungs, one effects 'repairs' to people one has injured along the path of addiction. The highest rungs aim at a transforming religious experience. Since the "transcendent function" is built into the human experience, this becomes a possibility for those seeking transformation of their lives. There has never been any doctrine connected to these principles. -------------------- γνῶθι σαὐτόν - Gnothi Seauton - Know Thyself
