Decades from now, you will still remember this single element of that chapter in your distant past, and that's the only thing that matters.

Since I exited the Recovery Group Movement (RGM), I have saved myself thousands of dollars in one or two dollar meeting donations and gas; I have saved myself tens of thousands of hours (which add up to several solid years) spent unnecessarily "managing a one-day-at-a-time sobriety" with other people who believe they are by themselves powerless over alcohol. And the money and time are only the beginning.

I lost a lot of time as a father and husband with my young family because of the time I DID spend in the RGM before I exited it. How that changed my family's future can never be regained. So I feel very fortunate to have discovered AVRT at the very beginning when it was being developed by Jack Trimpey of Rational Recovery.

I think helping people understand that they can end an addiction without the RGM gives me a sense that the little time I spend here can help some other people in an important way down the road of their own lives.
