"Similar to how recovering addicts continue to go to meetings years have they've gotten sober"

Turns out, that's not a plan a plan supported by scientific evidence either ;)

You're probably referring to the recent debunking of 12 step program?

Isn't that more centered around getting clean, and not keeping clean, and also more centered around the 12 step programs themselves rather than the support groups?

I wouldn't call it recent per se, it's been unsupported by research since perhaps the 1970's. Anyway, I just meant that the support groups lack the backing of research.

True, it's always been BS, but there was a recent prominent article or study calling it out.
