Why Christians Should Avoid 12 Step Programs for Addictions

The 12 Step programs AA, OA, etc. have unbiblical components and occultic origins. Christians are instead encouraged to see a Biblical Counselor for addictions, as Dr. Mark Shaw of The Addiction Connection explains in this video.

Note from Doreen: I have had comments turned off of all my videos since 2009 because I don’t have an assistant or moderator, and my schedule is super busy. You can reach me through direct instant messages at   / doreenvirtue   Where I personally read and answer messages, albeit slowly because it’s just me without a staff. If I don’t answer right away, please write again and your letter will pop to the top.
