Of course it doesn't have to be the truth for everyone....just go to any of the thousands of NA or AA meetings across the country. In any one of those rooms you will find many people with several years of sobriety. Their stories are always very enlightening and if you haven't gone to an open meeting, you definitely should. I especially like the "speaker nights".
