Hi.
Yes, probably most understand as we go through phases during recovery and our personal AV is trying to put us onto a different path.
Personally I don’t have faith that only reading will hold our recovery in place for the majority of alcoholics.
I/we need personal contact by listening to the emotions, strength and hope from others that can identify with each other and learn from the experienced. This is usually against the grain of alcoholics as we have many reasons to be isolated and want to do things our way.
AA has helped millions to not drink by attending meetings and practicing the program of the 12 steps.
Probably the biggest reason for relapses in AA is people for whatever reason stop going to meetings.
I’m grateful I’m not one of them, YET!

BE WELL
