The 12 Step Recovery system is very compatible with Bardons work and your friend can find other people that also strugggle with this cunning. baffling and powerful addiction to alcohol. the Fourth Step is very similar to the Mirror work in Bardon's work. The community healing aspect is also a very helpful tool which is found in AA and other 12 Step programs. I would highly recommend that your friend goes to these meetings and finds one that he likes and gets involved with a sponsor working these steps. The other alternative is an initial phase of treatment which is very intense and to choose a Centre that is based on twelve step work. i have been abstinant from alcohol for fifteen years and am very grateful for finding theis program. If your friend ghas already tried this approach then ask if he/she is working the steps. I wish your friend wellness. ===== Warmly, Jeni Jones Spiritpaintings by Lightwolf The Healing Art of Spiritpainting spiritpainting2002@... http://www.spiritpainting.net/ _______________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
