Well said, FS57. I would think all of us know people for whom AA was their salvation. It does work miracles for many thousands of folks.
I just prefer the AVRT method for me.
Every day I awaken with this silly little smile- "I'm sober!!!!!!" Then I tackle the day with such positive energy, and get loads done! I am only 1 month in- but I am not even thinking about going backwards. As you say FS57...onward!
