I don't agree with everything I hear/read here at SR, and I expect the same would be true at an AA meeting - or a SMART one, or LifeRing, or whatever. A lot of alcoholics have definite ideas on what works...
I think it's wise to seek counsel from more than one person in most things in life...recovery is certainly no exception...seek out those whose recovery is the kind you want
glad you didn't let it derail you too much Luper
