That is quite an accomplishment.
It seems like rehab and 12 step programs say the same thing,

because you failed.' That philosophy is garbage.
Take care of yourself and really watch people in your 12 step meetings
before you reach out for help. What I mean by watch them is,
Listen to how they speak at meetings and observe what
they do outside. Then, you can figure out who to ask.
OMG I wish you much luck in your beliefs. I see a lot of internet words that are just plain BS from people not being informed and “act as if.”
The fact is that the majority of the people who follow the program DO stay sober. The majority who don’t stay sober try doing things their way and don’t get sober, period. An old expression “ If you don’t like or disagree your misery is refundable.”
Most coming to AA don’t make it for various reasons, often fear interferes with clear thinking that millions are sober world wide because they practice the
PROGRAM and let go of past beliefs and change their thinking which is not always easy.
BE WELL
