I agree with the last poster that EFT is also a very powerful and fast technique to eliminate cravings, phobias, and addictive behaviors. I found it an extremely helpful adjunct to the 12 step programs, Sedona Method and other technologies.
As to the 12 step programs being helpful only for people who believe that God is outside of themselves... that is simply not true. I have many friends in AA who are atheists, agnostics, Buddhists, and pagans.. who do not subscribe to the traditional Judeo-Christian theology of a transcendent Creator/God existing apart from themselves. In fact, the 12 step model has actually helped me break the bondage of religiosity and dogma in order to intuit a more personal experience of reality.. beyond belief systems.
Again, this is not about theology or world views... it's about what works. If what you're doing is already working for you then keep doing it. If it's not.. then you might consider trying something different.
Best wishes,
Robert
