Preferred term

Twelve Steps  

Definition(s)

  • In 1939 the basic text for Alcoholics Anonymous was published, and in its fifth chapter, 12 steps were suggested as a program for recovery from alcoholism. Since then, "The Twelve Steps" have become synonymous with the term self-help or support group program, and their concepts have been applied to a variety of addictive maladies, including gambling, narcotics, overeating, and sex.
