My last binge (4 days) finished sometime on a saturday night. Sunday night I was at a meeting. Never drank again. I was willing to do ANYTHING to stop the misery. No yes buts, no preconcieved ideas.
Nonsense.
I know what will happen if I drink and I'm tired of 12-step philosophy trying to hijack my sobriety as its own.
Why do we have to put people down rather than empowering them?
