I feel that this "I WILL NOT" statement simply means that the poster knows her own mind and so knows what will not work for her.
Although I am relatively new to sobriety, I am doing it without AA/12 Steps or rehab. I am very confident in my sobriety. It can be done and I hope you find your way to do it!
