Twelve Step Recovery Programs --
List
Yoga purifies the nervous system, usually resulting in a reduced need for artificial
intoxicants such as alcohol, tobacco and drugs. However, if substance use is excessive,
yoga may not be enough to clean the inner windows of perception, and additional measures
may be necessary. The twelve step program developed by Alcoholics Anonymous in the 1930s,
and since expanded to address many other forms of addiction and obsessive negative habits,
is a proven program that is available to anyone worldwide. See the list of
12 Step Programs here:
