On my second attempt to break a relapse that came after 5 years sober. Have been reading through the rational recovery site and see a lot of stuff that is similar to what I used to get and stay sober the first time. (Which I did by my self)

What they call the AV I call my whiskey monster and I used to joke that he was trying to kill me. Well jokes on me because he almost succeed twice. The first time I was shot in the neck in a robbery and I thought that like in fight club it might have killed him. Turned he is a tough SOB and came back as strong as ever when I let my guard down.


I will post all the gory details later when I am more comfortable here but for now anyone that has had success with RR or similar methods please tell me what merits it has for you. This approach worked for me once and I only started struggling hard when my social group changed back to my old party friends and my supportive friends moved away. I think it can work again especially if I follow a more developed method rather than one I came up with myself plus find support here and elsewhere.

So fire away with links or whatever else you think might help.

Thanks in advance,
