Welcome MP1970,
This is an awesome forum for finding information about recovery, and what has worked for others.
While the "other" thread has nothing to do with AA. AA has worked for literally millions of folks in sustaining long term recovery. Don't let my ramblings sway you away for what works.
I have no respect for men that are consistently melodramatic, drama driven. Everyone has there moment, I dont believe its always! Hence the post you happened in on. I am sorry, I am working on it. I really do try to not post when I see it, but sometimes I am less successful.
Welcome again!
Peace
~GB
