men, women, and children living with HCV, and their friends,
families, and everyone concerned about hepatitis C.

physical, mental, and emotional health (full-circle health).
This manuscript uses a “Higher Power of your understanding”
approach. This non-religious approach hosts everyone
regardless of race, creed, religion or lack of religion, or
sexual orientation.
There are guides on how to run meetings and start groups.
Our guidelines offer a variety of meeting formats.
Why a 12-Step program for HCV?
There are many people with hepatitis C whose emotions and
behavior are destroying them; this behavior is putting an
unnecessary burden on many of their loved ones. They may
have drinking, smoking, eating, fitness, psychological, and
sexual issues that need to be addressed. They may have
unresolved issues regarding treatment. Others may need to
"come to believe that a power greater than themselves
exists." They do not believe in God or a Higher Power, or
their relationship with their Higher Power is faltering.
There are other people who need to learn how to assess all
facets of their health (clean house), trust their Higher
Power, and unload the guilt, shame, and depression that is
holding them in bondage (whether they are aware of it or
not).
There are others who have by now transformed the stumbling
block of HCV into a stepping-stone. They have learned how to
live happy, healthy, and normal lives. Here, they can use
their experience, strength, and hope to help others.
It has been proven that 12-Step programs work. There are
over 300 different 12-Step programs. HCV Anonymous
Positive Attitudes is tailored to meet the needs of
everyone infected with or affected by HCV.
