Hey guys,
Okay, so I'm happily reading "Rational Recovery: The New Cure." Got a question:

I'm not sure I agree with that, as yet anyways. Reminds me of my struggle to come to my own understanding of an HP -- and in AA it was suggested to me that half-measures don't work kinda thing, you know?

I had to fully believe or I risked a relapse I was told -- well, I discovered a way around my having to be "fully believing" that my HP had to be a literal GOD. I wont get into that right now, but the above quote reminds me of those days.

Question: Why and how is a doubt in AVRT the same as a doubt in myself?

I'll continue reading of course, and I may find the answer in the book itself, but thought I would share this because it reminds me of the BB Thumpers, LOL.

Cheers!
