The method was then adapted and became the foundation of other twelve-step programs such as Narcotics Anonymous, Overeaters Anonymous, Co-Dependents Anonymous and Debtors Anonymous. As summarized by the American Psychological Association, the process involves the following:

Nonsense. In AA and most other twelve-step programs, "your Higher Power" is more or less a pseudonym for Jesus. Asked by Jane* - Tue Jul 7 15:30:58 2009 - - 15 Answers - 0 Comments A. I have no absolute idea whether or not there is a higher power. I do not think that it is necesary to believe in a higher power in order to get and maintain sobriety. Therefore AA's essential premise that at certain times a real alcoholic is powerless to resist and must drink unless he has capitulated to this power, is untrue.
