Hello Everyone.
I just read the Crash Course in AVRT and made my Big Plan. To be honest this is the second time I've done it. I did it about 6 years ago when I was 20 years old. Collectively over those 6 years I probably have had roughly 2 years sober (and one 11-month stretch of sobriety). I'm sure this has been brought up before many times but in the Crash Course it says that recovery groups of any kind are counter-productive and in fact harmful to my Big Plan. Am I understanding that correctly? I feel like I'm asking a dumb question here but I'll do it anyway: then why do we use soberrecovery? How do we rationalize that in the context of the Big Plan?
P.S. I've been to AA about a dozen times and while I understand it works for some people it was too cult-like for me personally so I'm not interested in going to that kind of a recovery group. But (before I made my Big Plan today) I did call a 1 800 number to arrange for some addictions one-one counselling. I would still like to do that.
