Getting personal and pointing to me as a person that I am of no consequence is amusing, you know?
I agree there's value in sharing, I spent months and months in an OP rehab group, and I found the most value in the mutual support of the group sharing their experiences as we went through the early recovery process together.
I still find value in listening to what others say about recovery, and you can learn as much from a fool as from a sage. But do I care if someone thinks the way I stay sober won't work or is critical of my methodology and my chances? Not one bit. From time to time I get criticism and gloom and doom predictions about how I don't go to meetings and 'work a program'. What they mean is I don't work their program, so I just smile and say thank you.
What I do works for me, and that's what I care about.
