	Habit Doc Description: There is no single alcoholism cure or alcoholism intervention approach or drug and alcohol treatment center that magically works for everyone. I had to learn that fact the hard, trial-and-error way to find the specific tools that worked best for me. Now I'd like the opportunity to show you the variety of drug and alcoholism addiction treatment approaches and tools that exist outside of the AA world and help you choose the ones that are the best fit for your personality and situation.

	Habit Smart Description: Habit Smart was launched in early 1995, and was amongst the first sites dedicated to, not only providing alternative theories of addictive behavior and change, but providing addiction information in general. HabitSmart has been alive and kicking since its debut, despite occasional objections to its non-twelve step focus, and primarily because of the hundreds of positive responses to the site. The site offers an abundance of information about addictive behavior: theories of habit endurance and habit change as well as tips for effectively managing problematic habitual behavior. Many people grappling with addictive behavior are not aware that, as opposed to just one, there are many potentially effective routes to change. In as much as AA and associated 12-step approaches have been useful to many, one size does not fit all. Furthermore, many who align themselves with the 12-step model can augment their recovery with other information and tools. Added on: 28-June-2007 hits: 250Report broken link \| Details
