Résumé : |
ENGLISH : Critics point to 12-step fellowships as being a negative influence on active involvement of members in mainstream society. This article summarizes that criticism and contrasts experiences of community- involved members from Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) with those of members of Narcotics Anonymous (NA). We asked these participants to reflect on how their non fellowship community service had been influenced by their recovery in a 12-step fellowship. Few front either fellowship experienced discouragement of community activity outside the fellowship. The NA sample differed from the AA sample in some ways. NA members had less time in their fellowship and perceived their activity as relating to skills and encouragement they found in it. AA members were very long-term participants who saw their community work as one way of giving back what they had been given by their 12-step recovery. These findings suggest that long-term participation in a 12-step fellowship can lead members to wider participation in the community. (Review' s abstract) |
