Despite my often apparent NA favoritism, I agree!
There are definitely people who find recovery through other means -- and there are some good examples of them here, in fact!
Make no mistake, I am a thousand percent supportive of anyone who finds a way that really works for them.
I can only share what I know, and that comes from my own experiences, others who have been there and lived to tell the tale and then the 12-step fellowships. If you find a better way...come back and share it!!
By the way, I think BV's post here was awesome. Really brilliant stuff.
I'm glad to hear you're going out to a meeting tonight SK. And the humility, that's probably a very good thing today.
I also really wanted to commend you on your
honesty. I'll guess it might not necessarily have been so easy to own up to, not even over the internet. I respect you for that.
Best wishes.
