Hey guys,
There are a LOT of people out here who have quit drinking without AA. I'm sorry you felt put off by anti-AA talk in Trimpey's book.
Have you checked out the AVRT thread on SR here on Secular Connections? You will find a lot more nuts and bolts type answers there. It is a good thread and has been going a long time.
I wish you every success!
I quit drinking over 20 years ago before I ever found RR and AVRT. However, I used a method of my own design that was very similar. It is very common sensical and really works for those of us who prefer a non-12-step approach.
Keep posting, and keep reading. There are LOTS of us here who want to help you succeed.
