Thanks Lexie:-) I appreciate that Robert has had great success with AA and I am happy for him...but there are many people who recover without AA, it depends on your personal make-up. I have a lot of respect for it, but I really enjoy SR and if I were to think it was only open to people following AA I would probably stop coming eventually.
As I said at this point AA is not for me, maybe at some point I will reconsider, but I tend not to do well with groups that think their way is the only way, I know there are a lot of open-minded people in AA, so I don't want to think otherwise.
For me, today, recovery is spending a long weekend at my parents house, where there is tons of drinking and not feeling tempted, not being angry at them for drinking in front of me, not letting old hurts continue to hurt me and spending an hour scanning old family photos onto the computer:-)
Today is the last day of two weeks sober for me...first time in 12 years I have gone this long!
