I can just imagine myself, staying sober without AA- I would always have that lurking notion that someday, somehow, I will be able to control and enjoy my drinking.
This is a perfect example... even the word "lurking" is emotive... this message is a warning to people who "dare" to think for themselves and outside the AA box.
Why do i challenge those who choose AA as their way of life - because i believe there are some very destructive side-effects when people are ready to move on from it...
