In Response To: Recovery rate: Twelve-Step programs (John Galt)

Every 3 years AA publishes its survey of its members. 1989 survey said that after one year there is a 5% success rate. Go to Penn & Teller's site http://www.sho.com/site/ptbs/topics.do?topic=12 and listen to the flash summary of their 12 Stepping episode. There's the guests websites shown there too.
