Question by IAmYourDoG: Whats a non religious way to overcome addiction?
I Dont have an addiction. I was doing research on alcaholism, pornography, and drugs. On every single program, especially the 12 step program has religious bias which may turn non-religious or other religions away from seeking help. So i was wondering is there a program other than doing it yourself, psychology/psychiatry, cold turkey, or hypnosis? This is just a research on programs.
