[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 611316, member: 1550"] Suz, this sponsor deal was atypical. I don't want lurkers to feel this is the norm because it isn't. I doubt if culture does not seep into everything. Anyhow, since reassuring others than this is not your typical twelve step experience, I'm done with the thread. There are good and bad of everything though. If you don't like the way one twelve step group is run, that certainly doesn't mean another one is similar and I find twelve step groups very worthy, at least for drugs and alcohol family members. I am sure we have gamblers in the US, but since you have to be 21 to gamble in an establishment, I never met a kid with a gambling problem. IF there is an addiction issue, it is usually drugs and alcohol (most parents keep alcohol at home so it is accessible even though you are supposed to be 21 to legally drink...haha.) Doesn't mean there aren't any young gamblers though. I just never met one. GA may be different than for substance abuse, but I don't think so :) [/QUOTE]
