Prayers help
I only know a little about the history of the 12 step movement.  My experiance is practical.  It worked for me and that - frankly - is all I care about.  It continues to work where nothing else has been effective.  I am, in the end, a pragmatist.  Theories are for those who can afford them.

Hi, Sheila.

Since your message was sort of a response to what I had written to David, I have been thinking of whether I had anything to add.

I have looked into the twelve-step movement as a quasi-religious phenomenon, a second-generation offshoot from Lutheranism (via the Oxford movement, now called "Initiatives of Change"), but my first-hand knowledge of it is pretty much limited to attending a CoDA meeting with a former girlfriend.

I will add you to my prayer list.
