Remember though, that these points are made about ending your addiction, period, not a design for living. "13. Your desire for group or family support
in order to remain sober conceals a plan to drink/ use in the absence of support." I bolded that part because I think the point being made is, if I believe that if I don't have support then I can't remain abstinent, then that's an easy loophole to allow me to drink again.
