    12-step is just the basic dynamic of the Christian guilt-redemption narrative repackaged without the theological specificshttps://twitter.com/KatMelcher/status/1383836245508333577 …

        well it's only sans "theological specifics" within an Abrahamic framework, And even then it's still pretty Christian if you get deeper into the literature.

        also even if that’s a model that works for SOME people for SOME things - like alcohol, say - not only is that not true for all alcoholics, but applying this exact same model to basic human things you can’t avoid (food, sex, chronic pain) fundamentally sets people up for failure.

        I was just talking to my sister the other day about someone she used to know who was in a 12-step program for sex addiction and it’s literally like, you learn to treat every single person who comes near you as a temptation to sin. I mean they don’t use that word but it’s the same

        I've never liked the religious angle to the 12 steps, but I've seen alcoholics (including someone very dear to me) get sober and stay sober using them, which is more important than me feeling icky. No idea how or why anyone would try and apply them to chronic pain though.

        Characterizing chronic pain as a sinful personal failing for which one must repent is monstrous and cries out for punishing. This is so incredibly evil.

        it apparently has deep links to some super creepy Christian cult from the early 1900s, too? i think @ArsonAtDennys has the details, i can't remember which cult

        huh that doesn't ring a bell but on doing a bit of googling it seems to have it's roots in the oxford grouphttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxford_Group …

        WTFuck. How the rat-fucking-hell is any of this supposed to help anyone other than the monsters selling it? What, if I just prayed enough I'd magically not have any horrible pain from the condition I was born with?

        Replying to @TheWeaseKing @arthur_affect

        You are not conceptualising it correctly. First you must realise that "chronic pain doesn't exist, you just want drugs". Then you must realise that the goal of the program is not to help you, it's to replace one addiction with another: dependence on structured theology.
