sorry, it's hard to find a way to reply without getting into the debate piece. AA was there for YOU when you needed it and helped to create a foundation for 28 years of sobriety. so i'm not quite sure why all the negativity. that would be a bit like bashing the doctor who set your broken leg, right after you won the decathlon..........
perhaps in future posts, we'll hear more about you and what DOES work for you today.
