ARE YOU SAFE IN AA or NA? NO WAY! NATURAL ACCOUNTABILITY
Here’s a good example of why unprofessional, anonymous sponsorship from
these groups are not necessarily a good thing. Can you imagine the
vulnerable newcomers on the treacherous threshold of recovery being
told that they need to comply with their sponsor’s direction only to
find this out! This kind of thing can do so much harm! Unprofessional’s
play with peoples lives when they start taking on the role of advisor
to vulnerable, transitional people trying to find their way out of the
world of drug and alcohol abuse. With the majority of those in recovery
having coexisting psychological disorders, this is clearly a
role for those in the stable, professional counseling arena.
Messing with a newcomers head like this, while they are on such shaky
ground, could blow their chance at beating the odds. People coming off
addiction need to learn proven,self empowerment techniques commonly used
in basic therapy. They don’t need to become an anonymous member of
unprofessional group with sponsors that have their own untreated
psychological disorders telling them what to do. I really
feel for the vulnerable that find themselves in this situation!
