Is everyone here, AVRT?
I've been sober over 4 years, now. I initially went to AA after I put myself in rehab(which was AA-based). Went to meetings for a while – basically for the exposure of seeing other people with my problem and keep it top-of-mind– I guess. I've always had trouble with the god thing, and over time I just got more out of talking to myself.
I tried to quit many times, but eventually alcohol became unenjoyable. However. I still couldn't quit.
My last time in rehab, I just knew this was it.
It's been remarkably easy without any dogma, other than reflecting on how bad my life was when I drank. That's not to say I don't think about drinking occasionally, but to date, those feelings are easily dismissed.
Am I unusual. Am I an AVRT person without knowing it?
For reference: I did drink for over 20 years and when I quit I was consuming about 30 beers a day.
