12 Step recovery programs like AA and NA are not really "programs" at all, but instead
are fellowships of people meeting together with a common problem and a common
solution. The actual program is the 12 Steps, meaning that someone can attend AA or
NA meetings but if they are not actively taking the 12 Steps than they really are not in

Step recovery programs are free, although they do pass a basket to take a dollar or two
of donations to be self-supporting as a group. Attendees at meetings can give a dollar if
they so choose, but nothing is expected. There are no clinicians or therapists and no
administrators. The purpose is simply for one addict or alcoholic to help another through
their own personal experience of recovery. AA and NA have no established time limits
and in fact hope that active involvement in both the fellowship and the program will be a
lifelong endeavor.
