Yes, it works for me. And this is what recovery is about. It isn't about choosing AA or RR or AVRT -- it's about choosing what works for the individual. For me, AA was what I needed and today what I want. I enjoy the personal connection with others and the wonderful friendships that I have made. I met my lovely wife in recovery and today we have a happy family of four. I don't hide out in meetings and have gotten on with the business of living life. You see, AA often gets a bad rap, partly deserved I suppose, because many do hide out in meetings and this is not what AA is about. I'll save my further opinions for another thread and another time.
The bottom-line: each of us needs to do what works for us individually. For me this meant leaving the party scene behind. To each his or her own.
