For this reflection, the focus is to look closer at Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) and how it works and what makes it successful. AA is a group that was a group formed for those members that are powerless over alcohol (Van Wormer, & Davis, 2013). I attended AA meetings in Cincinnati on Monday-Friday at noon. I have been attending daily since October 3rd, except for weekends. There are usually about 30 to 50 participants in each session. There are beginner’s meetings, open and closed meetings all at the

change something in their lives; “They thinks drugs are a solution. But eventually, drugs become the problem” (“Truth About Drug Addiction”). This leads people to wonder, What is addiction? Are there treatments for addiction? There are four common steps on the pathway to addiction: drug abuse, tolerance, dependence, and last but not least addiction. ("Advert: Substance Abuse.") A person may develop tolerance to a drug when the drug is used repeatedly. For instance, when morphine or alcohol is used

implies planning for the long-term. The time frame associated with this type of planning is from three to five years into the future. Due to this timeframe, there are several challenges associated with long-range planning. These include: creating a plan that is breakthrough in its orientation rather than “more of the same,” getting all stakeholders to commit to the organization’s strategies and to follow through on implementation of critical activities, and decreasing cycle time in the planning process

12-Step Program Group Visit For this assignment, I chose to attend an open group meeting for Overeaters Anonymous on 6/29/2015. The group participates in the H.O.W. program of Overeaters Anonymous. H.O.W. stands for the principles of honesty, open-mindedness, and willingness. The meeting took place at St. Andrew’s Episcopal Church, located at 2535 East Broadway St. in Pearland. The format for this meeting was an open meeting. The meeting was an informal, but structured meeting, observing both the

attended an Al-Anon meeting for this assignment. Al-Anon is a group for people who have family members that are alcoholics. They offer support and help to people in different phases of living with someone who is fighting addiction.

The meeting I attended had a mix of newcomers as well as people who have been going to meetings for years. Mostly older women and one man. They were all very welcoming. Notes

Therefore, each person may feed their bodies with a plan of sound nutrition that will allow freedom from the insanity of this disease. Keep each addict honest, opened minded, and the willingness to share their experience, strength, and hope. With this we can recover from this disease, “ONE DAY AT A TIME”

For some people, drugs are a part of everyday life. Drugs are what allow them to be able to walk around in the mornings with no ache, or comfort the pain of a recent surgery, or help and individual cope with anxiety or stress; however, the same drugs that are used to bring enjoyment into one persons life can bring destruction into another. This has become a major problem in the U.S. and all over the world as well. In a recent survey, thirty different clinics, spread out over five urban areas, reported

since I could not tell them that I considered myself to qualify as a sex addict, I had to make another choice. My next choice was an Overeaters Anonymous meeting because there was one at the Atonement Church, of which I am familiar. Once again plans changed, and I was destined to arrive at the Wyomissing Church of the Brethren at 2200 State Hill Road. Consequently, this was a Wednesday evening meeting at 5:15 p.m. I live across from Centre Park in Town and I got stuck in an obscene amount of

may be considered bad guys but I say that in war there are no good or bad guys, it’s all a matter of perspective. The unexpected civilian bombing wasn’t so unexpected to me, in fact it was totally expected for I was the person who coordinated it. My plan was to just kill one at a time but what I was unaware of was that General Mahoney had invited both the major and Lieutenant general. Three birds and one stone…just too easy.   The next day I got commissioned to a higher rank, just like I had planned
