1. 12 Step Program
12 step programs such as AA and NA - If you
simply start attending AA meetings and start
taking some suggestions from them, your life will
undoubtedly get better.  From a statistics
standpoint the program actually works for very
few people.  However, this is not to say that the
program is worthless.  For being basically self
run and unstructured, the twelve step program has
been a Godsend to many people.

2. Religion
It is true that many alcoholics and addicts find
recovery through religion, rather than through a
12 step program.  This is obvious if you hang
around with other people in recovery long enough
because eventually, some of the recovering
alcoholics will drift toward religion as their
recovery solution.  It works for them, but again,
it does not work for everyone.

3. Counseling and Therapy
Many people eventually give up booze and do so
with the help of a therapist who counsels them
through the decision.  Again, guess what?  This
does not work for everyone.  In fact, this may
work for only a very slim selection of people,
probably those who do not have a serious and full
blown addiction yet, but may be headed that
direction.  In other words, hard core alcoholics
may require more than just counseling in order to
overcome their addiction.  Still, therapy can be
the solution for many people.

4. Exercise
Most people would initially discount the idea
that exercise is a recovery solution.  But it is
a much more powerful strategy than most people
give it credit for.  Why is this?  Because people
are lazy.  They would prefer to sit around in
meetings and slurp coffee rather than put in
serious effort.  The best solution for recovery
is an holistic one, and those who focus on
exercise know this to be true, because the
benefits they get are overwhelming.
