Question by Looking For Cats: My question is about Narconon and AA. I have been told in yahoo answers that they do not work.?
is there anyone who can tell me why they do not work, why they are funded by the government if they do not work, why people are being sent to them by the legal system and why they are so popular if they do not work? this is all very frustrating to me as I have a 12 year old little girl who has some problems, we are trying the NA and the AA and nothing seems to be working. thanks for your input.

Answer by Chiro has the answer
I believe these places can work, but honestly, the addict or one with the problem seriously needs to “want” to be helped. This is rare because if there is an addiction there and a desire for that “high” feeling, that is so hard to shake off. It’s like not being able to function without that cup of coffee in the morning or that hot bath at night.

Question by damon: this question is in regards to another yahoo answers question titled “abusive parents what can I do?”?
The person was beaten by her dad for underage drinking. Everyone answered that she deserved the beating and /or minimized the severity of said beating. But no one ever suggested getting treatment (counseling and maybe rehabilitation) for a possible problem with the beginnings of alcoholism ,i.e., the problem of potential alcoholism is not addressed, only the symptom. Pls look up the question in yahoo answers and read the responses. Why is this?

Answer by Dude
Becuase THOUSANDS of children drink when they are underage, this is NOT in any way and indication of someone who is an alcolohic.

I drank from 13 – now (40) in various amounts. Huge amounts in high school and college, now just socially. At no point in time was i an alcolohic
