“…Alcoholism is viewed as an incurable disease that can be arrested but not eliminated (Humphreys et al, 2004). Alcoholics are believed to have an allergy, meaning their bodies simply cannot tolerate alcohol (Franken, 2014). Willpower is considered to be of no use, regardless of the consequences; it is considered a progressive illness that combines a mental obsession with drinking and a physical sensitivity to alcohol (AA, 1952).…”

Research indicates that the language used in addiction matters; therefore, the purpose of this study was to examine whether differences in discursive and psychological processes exist in 12-step texts used for substance and behavioral addictions. Using a synchronic corpus linguistic design, writings on the first step of Alcoholics Anonymous, Debtors Anonymous, Gamblers Anonymous, Narcotics Anonymous, Overeaters Anonymous, and Sex and Love Addicts Anonymous were analyzed using LIWC2015. The log-likelihood ratio test was used to examine if differences exist between the six texts, with post hoc analysis to further examine differences. Bayesian information criterion was used to measure effect size, which ranged from weak to very strong. Statistically significant differences exist in analytic, authentic, emotion tone, first-person singular pronouns, first-person plural pronouns, third-person singular pronouns, third-person plural pronouns, male, and biological process words. Results demonstrate that differences exist in the broad psycholinguistic, specific linguistic, and psychological and physical process words used in the texts. This research is the first study to compare linguistic components of different 12-step programs, which often fill a gap created by lags in research. Findings may have relevance to writers of 12-step literature, clinicians who provide treatment, and researchers who study substance use and behavioral addictions, and individuals with these issues.
