This is a list of notable twelve-step recovery programs and fellowships. These programs, and the groups of people who follow them, are based on the set of guiding principles for recovery from addictive, compulsive, or other behavioral problems originally developed by Alcoholics Anonymous.[1] The twelve-step method has been adapted widely by fellowships of people recovering from various addictions, compulsive behaviors, and mental health problems. Additionally, some programs have adapted the twelve-step approach in part.
Fellowships in this section follow reasonably close variations of the Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions of Alcoholics Anonymous.
Fellowships in this section use material from Alcoholics Anonymous, and credit its influence but do not necessarily follow both the Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions of AA.

Delphi is a general-purpose programming language and a software product that uses the Delphi dialect of the Object Pascal programming language and provides an integrated development environment (IDE) for rapid application development of desktop, mobile, web, and console software, currently developed and maintained by Embarcadero Technologies. Delphi's compilers generate native code for Microsoft Windows, macOS, iOS, Android and Linux (x64). Delphi includes a code editor, a visual designer, an integrated debugger, a source code control component, and support for third-party plugins. The code editor features Code Insight (code completion), Error Insight (real-time error-checking), and refactoring. The visual forms designer has the option of using either the Visual Component Library (VCL) for pure Windows development or the FireMonkey (FMX) framework for cross-platform development. Database support is a key feature and is provided by FireDAC (Database Access Components). Delphi is known for its fast compilation speed, native code, and developer productivity. Delphi was originally developed by Borland as a rapid application development tool for Windows as the successor of Turbo Pascal. Delphi added full object-oriented programming to the existing language, and the language has grown to support generics, anonymous methods, closures, and native Component Object Model (COM) support. Delphi and its C++ counterpart, C++Builder, are interoperable and jointly sold under the name RAD Studio. There are Professional, Enterprise, and Architect editions, with the higher editions having more features at a higher price. There is also a free-of-charge Community edition, with most of the features of Professional, but restricted to users and companies with low revenue.
Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) is a global mutual aid fellowship dedicated solely to abstinence-based recovery from alcoholism through its spiritually inclined Twelve Steps. AA's organizational principles are outlined in its Twelve Traditions and Twelve Concepts. In 2021 AA estimated it was active in 180 countries with nearly two million members — 73% in the United States and Canada. AA's origin dates to a 1935 Ohio meeting between Bill Wilson, or Bill W, and Bob Smith, or Dr. Bob (for anonymity, members often go by first name and last name initial). They met through the Christian revivalist Oxford Group and continued under its aegis to fellowship with other alcoholics until forming what became AA. In 1939 the fellowship introduced its Twelve Steps with the publication of Alcoholics Anonymous: The Story of How More than One Hundred Men Have Recovered from Alcoholism. Known as "the Big Book", later editions amended the subtitle with "Thousands of Men and Women". The Twelve Steps are a suggested, but not required, ongoing self-improvement program to abstain from alcohol with the aid of a personally chosen higher power. After admitting to no control of drinking, chaotic lives, and the need for divine assistance, transgressions and personal failings of morals and character are listed and addressed through better actions and atonement. To maintain these gains, appeal is made to an undefined "God as we understood Him", and the carrying of AA's message to other alcoholics, which is often done through voluntarily attending and being of service at meetings and by sponsoring other alcoholics. In 1950 AA formally adopted its 12 Traditions, which, besides stressing anonymity and a primary focus on recovery, strive to keep AA free to all with no governing hierarchy, and abstaining from public controversies and unallied with other institutions, organizations or causes. AA meeting formats vary with some being studies of AA literature and others have speakers and attendees sharing what AA calls their "experience, strength and hope" from speakers and/or from attendees. Open meetings restrict no one, while others are for distinct demographics such as LGBTQIA+, and men or women only meetings are common. Agnostic and atheist meetings are also not uncommon. In regards to AA's effectiveness, a 2020 Cochrane review found that AA involvement via Twelve-Step Facilitation (TSF) therapy demonstrated higher rates of continuous abstinence, and compared to other treatments, including cognitive behavioral therapy, AA attendance over time resulted in better healthcare cost savings.
The method of loci is a mnemonic technique that uses visual imagination and spatial memory to organize and recall information. It involves mentally associating pieces of information with specific locations in a familiar environment, such as rooms in a house or landmarks along a well-known route. The user visualizes these locations in sequence and imagines placing the items to be remembered at each point. Recall is achieved by mentally retracing the path and using the imagined scenes to retrieve the associated information. This method is also referred as the memory palace, memory journey, journey method or mind palace technique.
Before the 1921 destruction of Tulsa’s Greenwood District, Black residents had created a remarkable center of business and community life. The district included stores, professional offices, entertainment venues and homes owned by Black citizens. Understanding Greenwood means learning what was built—not only what was burned.
