The brilliance of the AA 12 step program - no advice, addresses the root cause! 24.07.12
The most basic need of any human being is to be loved and to love. I'm going to be so bold as to say that almost all human problems, fears, traumas, or what I call anarthas, come from this fear that I am not loved, and even more deeper, I am not lovable. Almost all anger, greed, envy, fear, resentment, comes from this fear.
To alleviate our fears, we turn to all kinds of addictions, chasing love where it can not be found. We turn to alcohol addiction, drug addiction, love addiction, food addiction, TV addiction, phone addiction, and so on.
The 12 step program does not give a single piece of advice along the lines of - don't drive by bars, don't hang out with people who drink, none of it. It addresses the very root cause directly. Build your relationship with God. And take support from other people within the program who are also eager to heal. Build your relationship with other human beings, and ultimately and primarily, with God. While talking to other human beings, refrain from giving advice, just be there for people, make them feel seen and heard, and be seen and heard yourself. Brilliant!
