What has worked for you? What hasn't? Please share!

I am not a big fan of Narcotics Anonymous or Alcoholics Anonymous. I feel that the first step in their program "we admit we are powerless over our addictions" takes away the responsibility from the individual seeking help. I agree" that our lives had become unmanageable" But the power for change lies with the individual. I believe that God, the Creator, The Great I Am, or what ever you wish to call the Supreme Entity, gives us the power to create change in our lives however the responsibility to act on this conviction still lies with us.
