You'll get lots of what you're looking for (opinions) about this issue ..
I *have* cooked with alcohol, but honestly I avoid it. Not really for the 'what percent is left in the dish' issue, but more the issue of having alcohol in my home.. I don't keep any here, nor will I. I have ordered food in restaurants that contain alcohol, like penne alla vodka, stews etc.. for ME it doesn't trigger me. I think it's great you've read about how much alcohol can be left when cooking, it's really important stuff to know for anyone truly wanting (and needing!) to live alcohol free.
I wouldn't have gone near it early in my sobriety though, i think the mental obsession piece would stick with me, that I had technically consumed x amount of alcohol etc.. that can be a make it or break it thing for some folks, and I absolutely respect the care people put into their sobriety. It doesn't add THAT much flavor anyways really..
