When I read posts at SR, I do what my "mentor" told me to do if I ever decided to start going to AA...take what seems applicable to you, and leave the rest. There are plenty of posts here that I seem to not be able to relate to, but in the end, we are all battling an addiction. Granted, the addiction can take many forms, and people have various ways of overcoming, or battling the addiction. I think that everyone here has a lot to learn from everyone else, whether you can relate or not. Learning from other people's experiences can only make you a better person. I hope you stick around, too. I'm sure you'll find some common ground with someone.
