Extrapolating that to believe their group method will work for everyone - maybe not so rational.
That's essentially what I said, or intended to mean.
But I see that phenomenon with RR/AVRT people as well. It works for some of us and it is extrapolated to a belief that it will work for everyone. If they don't understand it or believe it, they are called irrational. I disagree.
I am under no illusion that RR/AVRT will work for more than a small percentage of people.
Some people have been frustrated by me not understanding what they understand. They couldn't explain why I don't understand so they would tell me I am in denial, or incapable of self-honesty, or not ready yet. I disagree.
I think RR/AVRT is the least in denial, most self-honest thing I've seen since true Objectivism(not the Randian kind). You most certainly have to be ready, though.
No one's sobriety plan has to be wrong for mine to be right.
Amen, brother. Mine certainly wouldn't work for anyone but me.
