Anonymous Alcoholics self-help groups, as a form of aftercare and relapse prevention for people dependent on alcohol and their families
LUKEŠOVÁ, Libuše
This thesis covers one of the methods of gaining and maintaining sobriety of individuals addicted to alcohol. This method was developed in 1935 in the USA and gradually spread out worldwide. It has been used in the Czech Republic since 1989. It´s basic idea is the determination that one alcoholic can help the other by mutual exchange of his or her experience with alcohol. The long-term sober individual helps the other who is still currently drinking but wishes to stop his addiction. The success of this method is based on the willingness to work on himself or herself by utilizing of a program called "Twelve Steps". Its foundation is spiritual but is commonly used by atheists as well as agnostics. Work on this program is not limited by time. It is rather a lifelong process of gradual self-improvement.
