It seems today that in the case of most opportunities to help yourself, there is a "catch" or some "small print" to be on guard about. The Twelve Step Programs are the exception. There are no dues or fees for membership; the members genuinely wish to help you without obligation. The "cost" of willingness to join AA or NA or other such self-help group is, however, high, not in money one has to hand out, but in the alcohol or other drug related pain and negative consequences that are behind the individual's decision to seek help.
