Sounds good, freethefish. Be careful to keep an open mind and monitor you feelings and impulses. AA probably does create some accountability since you have a group. Without that you will have to be accountable to yourself. Be honest with yourself, too.
I hope you will consider using SR as your "group"! This is a great source for inspiration and advice, and even just a sympathetic crowd that understands addiction.
Glad you stopped back, freethefish.
