i dont mean to single out aa, i encapsulate all recovery models or anything around that topic under the same flag. for me i dont want to go near anything at all that allows me to think about alcoholism. i find just put it behind me, put it out of my head and put my mind towards what i do want works, which is generally the opposite of every group mentioned as they are based around drinking or reasons why you drink, how to stay away from drink blah blah.. for me its as easy as saying, i quit drinking, therefor i dont need to entertain thinking about it, and just life my life. you know?
