fun fact 12 step programs were developed by two white christian men in 1930s america
#clenching my jAW#it's so hard bc it merits a much more nuanced discussion than tumblr writ large will ever go for#12 steps work for a lot of people!#but they also don't work for a lot of people!#they were developed through a very particular lens! and a lot of it is about breaking down one's own ego#guess who doesn't have the ego of white american men in the 1930s? hmm......#nvm the religious foundation.. you can tell me that 'god' can be anything all you want but it does not erase the moral bent of the program#and then every other variation of 12 steps just copy/pastes the same fucking structure#i think they're good in the sense that it can help you find community right#and i'm not going to devalue the importance of feeling like you're not alone#but that's about theeee only thing i got out of naranon#i thought adult children of might be different but no it feels exactly the same#and it's honestly extremely triggering to read 'you have a victim mindset' when i've spent over a year's work with my therapist to finally#acknowledge myself as a victim for the first time!#fuck offfffff. okay rant over.#driveby post#addiction
