Addiction comes in many shapes. Drug addiction and alcoholism are probably the first ones that pop into our mind when thinking about addictions but it also seems like any word in the dictionary can receive the ‘aholic’ termination in order to describe a person’s dependence on getting anything in between chocolate, shopping, and computer games.

For alcohol, AA (Alcoholics Anonymous) has become like an international trademark for addiction treatment. However, science and practice tend to have different views on the effectiveness of AA treatment and other 12-step approaches for addiction recovery. In the same time, a set of alternative treatment options – also referred to as non 12-step addiction treatment options – also become more and more popular these days and most of them tend to employ a more holistic approach. For instance, some of the alternative holistic treatments employ yoga or mediation. Another popular recent approach concentrates on the effects of diet and nutrition and the success rates of using those as part of an alcoholism treatment. Some addictions use an indirect approach of providing a well-balanced nutrition and increasing the strength of the patient with vitamins and minerals.

Addiction rehab centers know that AA might be effective in practice but they also know that there are other methods that might be more effective – ranging from medications, to motivation based approaches such as rewarding non-drinking or non-consumption behaviors or even using aversive conditioning in order to instill repugnance to one’s object of an addiction. An increased importance is given today to treating addictions in rehab centers with a patient centered approach, having the person first convinced of the benefits of being treated and then identifying together with the specialized personnel what are the approaches that best suit patient’s needs. These centers offer an entire list of 12-step addiction recovery approaches and non 12-step addictions recovery approaches in the same time.

Another important factor to consider is that employing a non 12-step approach not only opens the door to treatment opportunities one might fail to consider when looking only at AA and similar 12-step approaches; it also gives people more choices in terms of selecting the method that best fits their beliefs and values system, even in the case in which they don’t believe in a higher power force, which is generally part of the 12-step approach. Other benefits of considering non 12-step addiction recovery solutions come from the fact that these other options can ensure more privacy for patients, allow them to get treated on a one-on-one basis rather than by attending group meetings. One might not want or like to attend those AA-type meetings or one might simply not have a flexible schedule to dedicate specific meeting times to that. In any of these cases, there are plenty of non 12-step solutions that address such specific needs.

Moreover, the level of specialization of these alternative methods has reached a stage at which some of them are designed particularly for certain social groups such a women oriented programs or programs designed for people with type of sexual orientation.

No matter how small or large is the population targeted by a treatment, the bottom line is that one should be aware of all the treatment options and actively involved in deciding which one could bring the best results.

Did you know Sylvester Stallone wrote the movie Rocky? He also directed and the movie was all done in twenty-eight days! There are a total of six movies and the first one came out way back in 1976.

The most famous quote from the first movie and still continued on in every single movie was “Yo Adrian!” Rocky has just gotten done fighting Apollo Creed and has lost due to a split decision. Bloody and beaten, he yells for her and she comes running down into his arms. They say how they love each other and the movie ends on a loving happy note. “Yo Adrian” is a very special thing between the two of them every time he says it. It has so much meaning behind it.

In Rocky II, “I was wonderin’ if, uh, you wouldn’t mind marryin’ me very much.” This was Rocky asking Adrian if she would marry him, of course she said yes! There romance became one of the most famous romances in modern day film history.

The last film, sadly we all miss Adrian and Rocky can’t function without here no matter how hard he tries. At the end of the movie he finally knows its okay to let go and have the strength to move on, “You know I couldn’t have done nothing without you, Yo Adrian we did it”, and touchingly he kisses her tombstone.

“No, maybe I can’t win, maybe the only thing I can do is just take everything he’s got. But to beat me, he’s gonna have to kill me, and to kill me, he’s gonna have to have the heart to stand in front of me, and to do that, he’s gotta be willing to die himself and I don’t know if he’s ready to do that. I don’t know, I don’t know.” This quote came from rocky IV in 1985 where he fights the Russian Ivan Drago.

He is totally an indestructible freak on steroids. Rocky was also doing the fight for his country he loved so much, the United States. Terrible things were being said about the country and him. So, Rocky definitely kicks some butt!

There were other memorable characters like Paulie and Rocky’s son, Robert, along with many fighters and colorful characters that made the movie what it was and still is to this day.
