Which of the following is part of the treatment program of Alcoholics Anonymous?

A) requiring members to admit that they are alcoholics and powerless over liquor
B) encouraging members to develop a rugged individualistic approach to drinking
C) encouraging members to maintain a moderate drinking pattern
D) urging members to seek psychotherapy

Admitting that one is an alcoholic and powerless over liquor is a fundamental step in the Alcoholics Anonymous program. It is also known as Step 1 of the "12 steps" of the program. The program encourages members to recognize that they have a problem with alcohol and that they cannot control it on their own, and to seek help and support from others who have had similar experiences. Encouraging a "rugged individualistic approach" or "maintaining a moderate drinking pattern" is not part of the program. While some members may choose to seek psychotherapy as part of their recovery journey, it is not a requirement or emphasized as a core part of the program.
