An extreme newbie here, first post yesterday.
I have read the rules, and I hope I understand them.
Thank you all for secular connections, I didn't know about any of this before yesterday, and I'm pleased to have a new avenue of research.
I cannot speak for anyone else, nor do I wish to do so.
I personally have had difficulty with certain aspects of my previous recovery program. I will use a mixed approach because I need all the help I can get right now.
I read some of the literature about AVRT and it has made sense, real sense.
Who is responsible when I get drunk and behave appallingly?
I am. Not much comfort there, but it rings true.
Can anyone else stop me from drinking?
No, not really. They can offer support, but it's my decision.
So when I am going to take responsibility for my conduct?
Now - I am never going to drink and I will never change my mind.
So refreshing, and to me it feels 100% true.
No maybe tomorrow, no trying again.
I will ignore the Beast. It may speak with my voice, but t isn't me.
Thank you freshstart for your insights.
