I agree. I really like playing with others on SR, but I am incredibly grateful for the sharp focus of these threads. I feel a lasting gratitude to TU for starting it all. I had no idea about AVRT when I first quit; when I came across these threads, I was surprised how tightly it aligned with the mixture of Buddhist and Stoic thinking that formed the philosophical wing of my DIY recovery program. But it soon became a separate and distinct pillar. The great strength of AVRT for me is its laser focus, and the same goes for these threads.
I really do appreciate your insight and attitude, Dalek. And I absolutely, positively agree that any conditions on abstinence would be pure AV.
Or as I now like to call it, monkey pooh.
