Yes, the pay off is I love my cigarettes.<br/>Vomiting is not something I'm up to at the present time. Plan on starting the pills again once we get moved, but THIS time working the steps with them:) Hey girl

Is it perfect. No.

Is perfection too high of an expectation for a non-centralized, non-profit, self-monitoring, completely free, 100% democratic system? Yes, absolutely perfection would be too much to ask. For that kind of system any successes should be celebrated.

The crux of the articles is that the famous 12 Steps, don't work at all. Apparently, there's no data to support the claim that Alcoholics Anonymous is successful at getting people to stop drinking. From my own experience, the 12 Steps, shut down the critical thinking section of ones brain. What do you think?
