As mentioned in other posts I believe recovery is a life long journey, I do attend AA in person once a week and online a few times a week however there are teachings that I do not necessarily believe in but I take what helps me from whenever I can get it and leave the rest at the door.

My concern with fully recovered is the person may get the idea that they are healed/fixed and may be able to drink again, I know from my own past when I did this I always picked up where I left off and that is not going to happen again. I have hurt myself, loved ones friends and lost enough because of alcohol.

Today I am very happy, life is back on track however i am always mindful of the AV, I have power over it because I get help from a host of areas including this forum, helping others when I can.

All the best
Andrew
