Description of SLAA/ 12 step group: Two qualified facilitators lead the group. They use the manual of the 12 steps for general addiction and apply it to the group. Approximately 12-15 people attend. The group starts off by facilitators welcoming the members and describing the objectives of the group as well as asking new members if they wish to introduce themselves. They pass around a paper that briefly describes their group. They then say what they hope to achieve in this session and ask members whether anyone has any success that they wish to report about related to the last. Each member then takes a turn in reading an excerpt of the current step. Members are then asked to briefly describe their thoughts on this step and how they can apply in in real life. Each member is thanked by name after speaking, and each is given a chance to participate by facilitators moving in round-robin style around circle. Facilitators then tell members what they intend to do in coming session.

Due to these limitations, the outcomes of the research could not be levied on the whole population i.e. patients of AMI. Furthermore, implied hypotheses, wrong sample selection, inefficient sample settings, and confusing criteria of selection of the subjects, made the research unable to provide empirical evidence.
