Sobriety without
God Religion often plays a big role in the 12 steps to sobriety
offered by Alcoholics Anonymous. But some people looking to
overcome addiction aren't comfortable with AA's religious
overtones. Alex Cohen meets Stephen Rafferty, who found
sobriety without God in a group called SOS, Save our Selves.
Bill then discusses the role of spirituality in the
treatment of addiction with Mark Willenbring of the National
Institute of Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism.
