I don't attend AA now but still try my best to apply some of the slogans set out in the rooms my favourite being "keep it simple" .
The serenity prayer helps me too .
There is no way I could ever drink now and then ,for me its all or nothing and I chose nothing that's the only thing that works for me and i'm very happy with that.
If your system is what works for you I cant argue , its what works for you .
I wish you well .
Thank you. I'm still figuring out my system really. I'm just doing the best I can and trying to learn. I think I've just stop overloading myself with options to make it perfect. The perfect recovery! Haha! I am starting to want good things for myself and value my health. That's a massive change for me. To deserve better. It feels good.
