I viewed most of Oprah yesterday, topic: addictions. Statements made
by Dr. Robin who appears on an ongoing basis on the Oprah program.
"Addictions are a symbol of something that needs our attention."
Addiction transfer was mentioned, "Not dealing with the underlying
issues can create an addiction transfer."
And, "Partnering with people who are invested in your growth."
No positive or negative mention of the steps. From a business
standpoint, branding and marketing, "Oprah would not indulge in any
negative stance against aa." It would only serve to create
controversy and alienate her market.

Nothing so hard to open as a closed mind. (Who said that?)
