We have one guy who "Got it" after being court ordered, he has about 1 1/2 years, we have another guy in my home group who has shared on more then one occasion that he can not wait until he is no longer required to go to meetings to where he can feel in his head like he belongs and is not being forced to go.

They do still court order folks in my area, I look at it this way, many times it appears to be a waste of time, but in reality it may be just the thing that makes someone comfortable enough to walk into the rooms 10-20 years later when they are seeking a solution to thier problem.

There are a ton of folks in the rooms in my area today that are sober that were court ordered years before they ever really wanted to quit, at least they knew there was a solution if and when they wanted it.
