Hi guys, checking into this October class after failing (yet again) in the September one. I've pretty much flunked every class since May, but I have learned things along the way and I believe I am getting stronger and better at this. I have been considering AA and still am, but I'm aware of it perhaps being not quite the right fit for me, so I'm working on AVRT for now. If things start to feel out of control, if/when I get scary-strong urges, I will go straight to an AA meeting and see what I think from there.
I'm one week sober today. I've given myself a few tools to work with and I'm building on these daily. Glad to be here with you all
