You're welcome. I have found it very helpful especially when working with others.
"I know if I stay in the program I won't drink."
A very understandable misconception, the meetings are not the program. Plenty of people relapse while going to meetings. The thing is to "join" the program, remembering that the whole idea is to work towards a spiritual experience, a complete psychic change through which drinking becomes redundant. It is about permanent recovery. It is the experience strength and hope around the journey that brings that sense of belonging. There is a passage in the book which explains it well.
"The tremendous fact for every one of us is that we have discovered a common solution. We have a way out on which we can absolutely agree, and upon which we can join in brotherly and harmonious action. This is the great news this book carries to those who suffer from alcoholism. "
The common solution isn't so common these days as many try to find short cuts.
