Probably one of the best places on the planet for free education is a 12 step meeting.
Quite often the justice system makes offenders attend meetings. Generally when offenses involve drugs or alcohol. Usually it's a condition of probation.
Particularly in cases of domestic violence or driving under the influence.
And the reason is that we can learn from others at the meetings. It's called vicarious experience
The stories of those who have suffered from addiction can be heart-breaking..
Visitors might hear a story from someone just like them. They started getting arrested for small things. Then their problems increased as they continued using.
We hear speakers tell of losing everything. Marriages. Businesses. Freedom. Friends. And even their health.
More than one skeptic has told me that they heard stories that changed their thinking. They might not have reached the same point. But they can see where they're heading.
And, as I mentioned, it's free.
