Your own idea of what suits you, or what you feel comfortable with, or your own pick and choose program of what feels good to you.



I'm sincerely trying to be helpful to you. You can tell me to p*ss off and I won't be the least bit offended. I'm glad that you are exploring a spiritual option. But why do you have any reason to believe that have any idea of what is good for you? Your track record shows that you do not know how to stay sober. Is it possible that your ideas of what you need may not be all that reliable?

The best thing you can do to recover is to say "I don't know" and let someone show you a way that has been successful for them. I'd be happy to help in any way I can, although I'm a one trick pony on recovery.

Or, you can keep relying on what you think is best, and see where it gets you.
