96. Those are good for crises.

They're not good for long-term use. Unless we want everybody to rely entirely on Big Pharma for their behavior.

AA and other behavior-based plans always have a way to get clean. But they focus on staying clean instead of relying on something else. Addition is still most often a physiological conditions, but like many other things it's better to learn to avoid the problem than not, even if there is a treatment to solve relapses.

It's contrary to the way of lot of people think. It imposes constraints on behavior in a hedonist culture, and allows those who don't want or can't accommodate constraints to feel like they're being judged. To each their own, but I'd like to think that most still believe an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.
