stick with AA or NA, not the splinters
strongly suggest that residents stick with AA or NA and not make splinters like CA or Designer Drug Addicts Anonymous or Prescription Tranquilizers Anonymous their primary fellowship for recovery
Context
The doctrine's insistence on breadth over specificity: the Staff steers residents away from single-substance splinters toward AA or NA, because narrowing recovery to one Substance misses the point — "complete sobriety and a new spiritual way of life in toto." The Program's claim that the drug is never really the problem, so abstaining from one drug is never really the cure.
