I've only used SR for encouragement and support, do not attend meetings. For me, it's been enough. I hope you will find the answers you're looking for and will be happy with the outcome of your decision! Let us know how you're doing.
Thanks for the reponse. Here is what I don't understand: I fckin, fully understand that the quality of life will drastically improve being sober (quality of life isn't bad - right now). So, wtf, why don't I pursue that?
