Forced family participation

The disease concept of addiction, codified in the 12-step program, is a comprehensive inversion of universal family values, starting with the common sense understanding that the pursuit of pleasure at the expense of others, or risking harm to others, is willful, immoral conduct. The anti-family nature of 12-step recovery is evident in these important respects:

1. Your addiction was genetically transmitted to you by your ancestors.

2. Your addiction was aggravated by your original, dysfunctional family.

3. In order to stay tentatively sober, you need the continuous social and emotional support of other similarly troubled, addicted people, who are your new family.

4. Your family must help you stay sober. They must be highly tolerant and supportive of you, and accept the inverted concepts of 12-step recovery.

5. Your native beliefs and values, which were based upon the culture and traditions or your ancestors, are wrong.

6. Your ancestral heritage must be replaced by the beliefs and values of addicted people, as found in the 12-step program of Alcoholics Anonymous.
