Who it is for
People living with alcohol dependence, and the household around them.
How it works
The model we want to build: a local facilitator, a closed Telegram thread, and the Atlas companion for the nights when the circle is not in session. No humiliation rituals.
What the evidence says
In a 2020 Cochrane review, Alcoholics Anonymous-style programs did as well as other treatments such as CBT, and better for continuous abstinence. Limit: most studies are from the United States, and they do not show that this program works.
