I use to reread others old threads/posts - sometimes I still will, but not often. Typically when reposted it's done its for emphasis in an attempt to be helpful. For us who are indeed real alcoholics, this is a life and death matter. Many die from it - more so than those who recover.
There are also those who post like everything they have to write is a huge Press Release. Unfortunately, the humble take time to identify here - they are typically the truly spiritual and have what most want. The braggarts, the do as I say and not as I doers are ubiquitous. Much "advice" is tossed around and at times accepted because of clever prose. Beware! That type of thing may be hugely off target and detrimental. Take what works, but choose wisely what you believe will work.......
Many of us found quitting was a process - but, relapse is not a necessary part of recovery - thank God.
