"Term used by people in Alcoholics Anonymous and other 12-step fellowships for someone who is reaching out to help a newcomer with alternate motives than to actually help the newcomer to get sober or abstinent from acting out on addictive behaviors. The alternate motive is usually sex or a possibility of having a relationship, and these people who do 13 stepping someone are usually sicker than the person they are trying to help, hence taking advantage of a newcomer's vulnerability and lack of insight and knowledge about what is getting clean and sober all about. Almost a certain result of this is one or both persons involved will relapse on their primary compulsive, addictive behavior, which again can lead to jail, institutions or death."
Wow!!! Just say no to saying no! (just kidding).
