I'm glad your working it through Trish. This is the part that baffles me, and makes me think AA/NA is on to something. I personally do not ever see myself forgetting the horror of a black out, or thinking maybe this next time I will be ok. I'm coming on a year sober, and for me the dust never settled. While I do not consider myself a thumper or hardcore program, I do wonder if for a certain kind of addict they were spot on. The story of the dude who keeps going out, gets sober, and then thinks booze is ok if he adds it to milk. THAT kind of thinking has never happened to me (thanks God if it was you=), and it is hard for me to wrap my head around. I KNOW I use to find oblivion, and in oblivion I can and have done things that hurt the people I love. I can't forget that, I feel like it would be easier to forget my name or where I live.

And that very thing has led me to believe that a spiritually based program may indeed be what some people need.
