Did you know that's completely false? There's a HUGE difference between DOING the steps versus having a judge force you to go to a meeting to hear something ABOUT the steps.

Of people who are court ordered to attend a meeting to FIND OUT ABOUT the step based programs, 90% don't want to be there and won't do any of the steps. Those who don't have any interest in even trying don't succeed (duh).

Of those who work the steps, virtually all stay sober.
