Thanks for the input on that Eric. I think you are right on target with your message. I've seen AA do some real good for some, but I've also met my share of a$$holes too. Naturally, I would not discourage anyone from going to AA especially if it works well for them.
I'm considering going back to my "Rehab" location for lunch this week seeing as how return visits are encouraged (for lunch/dinner/meetings/updates) and I'd like to see some of the familiar faces of the staff. However, I really don't know what I'd say.
Heavy emphasis was placed on going to a meeting within 24 hours, moving to a sober house, getting a sponsor, working the steps and reading the big book.
