I don't think their schtick works so well on the Mainland. But it does in Hawaii, where despite having made fools of themselves occasionally, they remain "local heroes" to many (check the comments to the article).

I have two relatives who have been ice heads and they went clean without 12 step. 12 step has a very low success rate. People change because they want to change. Into what is the question...

I find their "hey wake the fuck up speech" to be just as effective as 12 step
