I am fairly new to objectivism but have a good understanding of the basics. I am also an addiction counsellor. Throughout my career I have always had great trouble with the ideas of the AA program. Specifically the notion that the addict must admit he is powerless over their drug of choice and they must turn their will over to god (basis of all twelve step programs). What I am trying to foster is a beleif that the addict is fully responsible. my trouble is articulating this shift in beleifs to the client. Any thoughts?
