This is weird keithj--but until you said I started this thread I did not realize that I did! I was responding to someone named "seared," but Dee moved my response to the beginning of a new thread.
Seared's thread is called "Asking for help" if anyone wants to see it. That is what my first post is in answer to.
I am not sure why it was moved. Dee says that Seared said he was not interested in AA. I did not find that anywhere in the thread. Also, I would never have started a thread speaking of AA specifically, since when I attended AA I considered myself a guest more than a member, since I did not have any problem not drinking. My remarks were all about 12-step programs in general rather than any one in particular.
