In 1947, Bill W. wrote, "More and more groups are adopting the idea of ’sponsorship.’ Each newcomer is assigned a reasonably stable AA member whose ward he becomes during this brief period of introduction to our way of life." In those days, most AAs came into the Fellowship through hospitals of one kind or another. And as the Fellowship grew, so did the role of the sponsor.

Defining Alcoholics Anonymous Following is the definition of A.A. appearing in the Fellowship’s basic literature and cited frequently at meetings of A.A. groups: The AA Preamble “Alcoholics Anonymous is a fellowship of men and women who share their experience, strength and hope with each other that they may solve their common problem and help others to recover from alcoholism.

In the early days of the original 12 Step Fellowship, Alcoholics Anonymous, when more stigma was attached to the term "alcoholic" than is the case today, this reluctance to be identified – and publicized – was easy to understand. As the Fellowship of A.A. grew, the positive values of anonymity soon became apparent. Public Anonymity First, we know from experience that many members might hesitate to turn to a 12 Step Fellowship for help if they thought their problem might be discussed publicly, even inadvertently, by others. Newcomers should be able to seek help with complete assurance that their identities wi...

Yet treatment programs – both spiritual and cognitive-behavioral in approach – have the same inpatient costs and clinical outcomes. Spiritually oriented programs have lower post-discharge costs and a higher rate of abstinence. Fellowship provided by faith-based groups may be the key. Addiction treatment, like many other aspects of health care, does not entail a standard, paint-by-number approach. There exists a wide spectrum of treatment options. On one end lies the medical approach, such as cognitive-behavioral treatment. On the opposite end are “faith-based” initiatives such as Alcoholics Anony...

Until that ego was somehow reduced or rendered ineffective, no likelihood of surrender could be anticipated.

Our goal is to help men and women who experience a dual illness. We are chemically dependent (alcoholic / addict) and we are also affected by an emotional or psychiatric illness. Both illnesses affect us in all areas of our lives; physically, psychologically, socially, and spiritually. The many terms of dual disorders The term dual diagnosis is often used interchangeably with the terms co-morbidity, co-occurring illnesses, concurrent disorders, comorbid disorders, co-occurring disorder, dual disorder, and, double trouble. Professional literature has used a confusing array of terms and acronyms to describe co-occurring disorders or a dual diagnosis. Many problems Individu...

We recognize that the dually diagnosed are among the highest risk of relapse of all mental health populations, but recovery is possible with the sponsorship offered by the fellowship of Dual Diagnosis Anonymous. Recovery is Possible Although we are of varied backgrounds, socioeconomic status, creeds, cultures, sexes, sexual orientation, color, origin, our addictions remind us we are all of the same fold. Our personal stories have a varied pattern that, in and of itself, remain uniquely our own. Yet in the larger scheme of things, we are able to notice similarities of our common experience. Our similarities li...

Until today I had no luck, but I am not complaining because medical research is a highly competitive field and three months are rarely enough to get a fantastic position. However, what I did manage to do during this period is to find, try and evaluate numerous websites designed to help you find research positions (PhD, post doc or anything else). I am bringing you a little review of these websites enriched by my own observations and some tips on how to use them in the most efficient manner. There are also other resources you can find and use, but I believe the ones presented here will get you off on a good start. I wish you luck in finding your dream position. If b...

And as the competition increases for the stagnant number of programs out there, residents feel obligated to apply earlier and to an increased number of programs. So wouldn’t it be great if someone could come along and create a standard application form, accepted by (ideally) all fellowship programs? Imagine a world in which application due dates, candidate interview periods and timeline for position offers were similar? Well I think it can happen. This topic has been and still is of great concern for residents all over the country. And I know that the organized resident bodies of both the ASCP and CAP have been trying to get our message out. Now finally, a resident work group, under the guidance of the CAP Residents Forum a... pathtalk.org blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=954603 Tue, 16 Oct 2007 13:27:34 +0100 954603
