Chopper - my personal experience so far is this. I never seeked help with my addiction (and few other psych problems). Signed up to SR in 2010 but never used it really, before this January...
During this past ~1 month, it's been quite a transformative experience. Of course because I want it too... It varies day by day... but can honestly say I have not had any negative experience with sobriety... and SR... so far. Lots of good ones
