This also is wrong. During a group counseling session, conducted with a minimum of two people suffering from addictions plus their family members, we ask people to talk about things they have done during the last week, for example. Others are asked to listen without making comments. Only the counselors offer an opinion. In the end it is up to the addicted person to continue attending counseling.
People have the opportunity to express themselves without drinking.
Knowing that others share their problems also encourages them to work to overcome their addictions. If you have a dependency problem and you try to solve it by yourself, you will not succeed. It is better to ask someone to listen to you. You should not be afraid to ask others for help. People who become addicted to things are people who try to deal with everything by themselves.
