No, I think you're missing
my point. The only thing I did was clarify what I meant by stating "comfortable", because you went on a rant (Lol) about my feeling
comfortable. That said, I didn't disagree with your suggestions. Thanks for the advice!

I had a similar problem, 10 - 20 days sober, then a 3 day bender. After a year of that insanity, I was on the verge of starting to lose stuff, like my health and marriage.
I gave up and decided to try AA. For me, the fellowship of other guys with the same problem made the difference.
I've been sober 7+ years now and don't go to many AA meetings anymore, but I know where to turn if I need to.
That's great to hear! I'm glad it worked for you. Others have suggested Celebrate Recovery so I'm going to look into that program.
