I agree with everything you wrote Algorithm!
But, although this is Zen's AVRT thread, when the earlier censorship occurred (most likely due to 'red buttons') I was trying to broaden the argument for less censorship, to include the other secular methods mentioned here in Secular Connections, RefugeRecovery, SMART Recovery etc. This is because in my opinion (not my experience because none of the other methods worked for me, save for AVRT) I believe there should be unbridled access and discussion of methods to recover. And often, that involves discussing why another method didn't work.
In the "Alcoholism" section of the forum, presently, there are examples of folks saying that nobody can stop drinking on their own! But I don't 'red button' them. Why would I, I'm secure, but nonetheless it's an insidious and innacurate message to be spread. As I said on that forum last night, SR is chock full of folks who've stopped drinking under their own steam.
