Arrie - If your body is chemically dependant...do you honestly think that will just "subside" with a little councelling? I don't think so...also "clean" and "cured" are two TOTALLY seperate things...your body can be "clean" of your drug of choice...but you are NEVER cured...just as therapy is an ongoing process...such is recovering from addiction...in my opinion...having been down that road personally...your body needs to be "clean" to even begin dealing with the issues at hand...how you do that is up to the individual...12s programs are not a place to "label" your disease...but a place to get support to start to deal with your issues...
