The long term recovery rate for Rational Recovery is just as dismal as the 12 step programs.
In the United States the Federal Prison System has been offering certain prisoners with a history of drug and alcohol abuse up to one year off of their sentences for completing a 300-hour program using Rational Recovery.
As a long time alcohol abuser I have been in mandatory AA and Rational Recovery at times in my checkered career. Neither of them worked for me, although the expectations of Rational Recovery makes it easier to accept the principals: The hand that picks up the glass can just as easily put it down. After three years of abstinence most drinkers cautiously may start drinking again. And all of the chanting that is so disturbing to many who are required to attend AA meetings is missing in Rational Recovery.
Most alcoholics have a genetic defect that is very difficult to overcome. I am fortunate to have lived to be 70 when you consider the many near-death experiences of my youth and consider myself a moderate drinker today. Of the two I strongly prefer the Rational Recovery methods.
