Hi Steven and welcome dude!
I've just started reading the "big book" today (AA's basic text) and it's a strange coincidence that you should mention the above because I just read this while I was on the throne (for some reason the BB makes great reading material during that time
).
Check this out from the Doctor's Opinion section...
"More often than not, it is imperative that a man's brain be cleared before he is approached, as he has then a better chance of understanding and accepting what we have to offer."
I'm not in AA but I'm thinking about going after I read the book. As far as it sounding like a rationalization - yeah of course it does but I can relate because I'm not drinking and still rationalizing not going (see above about reading the book before going).
When you're ready, you're ready and AA/NA will be there for you (and me!)
I'm glad you're here!
