Ahhh well no group is perfect you are walking into a room full of sick people. i learned that the hard way myself. I will say everyone at my job knows in in recovery up to the ceo at the hospital i work at. i dont think ppl have a hard time accepting that its just when we keep using. If you dont like saying your an alcoholic u might try NA. Thats where i go. So far SR has been great in my short time here. Anything i say are just suggestions ive found some great ways to treat my disease through other people. As long as it works for you and keeps you clean im happy
