I'm attending a new group in San Diego called dual tribe, geared towards people with dual diagnosies, most of the people I know dealing with addiction, and I know a lot now, can point back to a specific trauma or period in their life that pushed them into addiction. Or they had a pre-existing disorder. I think more groups should focus on that. When the 12 steps were invented we didn't have the understanding we do now of how the mind works or neural chemistry and biology.
