LT Discussion of Group Support

Read the Learning Team Lecture: “AA: What to expect?” (Click on the link below.). The founders of AA believed that two alcoholics working together to remain sober have a better chance than one person attempting it alone. Do you believe this is true? Why or why not? Have you or anyone you know ever overcome an obstacle that you or they believed was impossible? Did you or they do it alone or with others? What is or was your initial reaction to being notified that 30% of your grade depends upon the successful cooperation of the learning team?

Please remember that a Learning Team discussion should read as if it were written by one person rather than as a collection of individual responses. There is no “I” in team.
Your response to this DQ should be at least 250 words.

Discuss in your Learning Team and summarize your discussion. Remember: there is no “I” in team. Post your summary in the Assignments Section.Other addictions
Our society has been described as addictive, promoting the theory that we can become addicted to things other than drugs. Do you believe this is true? Support your opinion and give examples of some things or activities that may be considered addictive. Be sure to keep in mind the criteria for addiction discussed in your reading materials. Do you think that addiction to something other than drugs or alcohol can be as destructive as substance abuse? Why or why not?
