Thanks for that Bill.
I have a couple of quibbles tho, if I may.
When I speak of recovery plans I'm speaking holistically.
I'm not really speaking of AA or Rational Recovery or SMART or whatever, although joining one of those groups may indeed be the basis or a part of a plan.
It wasn't the basis of my recovery plan tho - and I think it's important to acknowledge that recovery plans can and do exist out of the established methods axis
I also think that this:
An eclectic approach, combining the best elements of several “plans” is often discouraged.
is changing. It's quite common now to see people using more than one method to stay sober
There may be some parts of RR where AA is derided (and vice versa) - but it's
not the case here on SR and I wanted to acknowledge that too, and thank people for it
Those are my (I would say minor) quibbles.
Thanks for the work and time you put into the post Bill
