Hi JJ and welcome to SR!
I'm so glad you saw my thread and it spoke to you in some way. I sometimes feel like if you believe in God then AA is your expected path...which is why I started it...to see who else on SR was like me
I was surprised how many there were...and how many had solid happy recovery!
Dee is right though...you will get more responses to your questions if you start your own thread especially as an introduction. This thread is probably nearing the end of its life anyway
