The problem here is I currently work in a methadone clinic with opiate addicts after years of being a general drug and alcohol counselor and the first thing that became clear to me was how the majority of the people I work with got there start after having some kind of accident or illness and surgery. These folks come from all sorts of different backgrounds, not just bare cages. I would however agree, just as the founders of AA first discovered in 1935, there is something very special (and greater then the sum of it's parts) when people get together to achieve something like living a better life. Addiction or dependency might best be described in terms of relationship but the question is where does this relationship exist?
