Hi GC.

I've been in and out of your threads, and I don't know whether or not you've accessed any kind of formal treatment. I haven't seen evidence of this in the comments I've read, and I do hope that you're not attempting to do this on your own.

I used IOP and then regular OP, individual treatment and AA for a full year. I continue to participate in AA. If I hadn't, I most certainly would have chosen some other type of regular treatment. There was never a day or night in which I wasn't availing myself of at least two of these forms of help and support. Some people might think that this is overkill, but I was in no position to make that assessment after having done such a complete and comprehensive job in ruining my life.

I don't really care what it was that "worked" for me. It was my willingness to achieve sobriety and to live a better life that made all the difference for me, but I have no doubt that I could not have progressed as I have without a great deal of additional help.
