The truth is those are very hard to find. 90% of people that post in this forum use the AA method. I find it amusing when people like to point out how long they been sober. I'm not even talking about their anniversary dates either. My question to them is often, "did anyone even ask how long you been sober?"

No, I don't read minds. I know that for me willingness means willing to do WHATEVER it takes to not pick up. This includes calling 10 more people when the first ten do not answer. This includes picking up the phone and talking to someone from your area that has offered to help.
That is what willingness means to me.

I did not mean any offense, just my observation...
