Whatever path works for you, Fitz.

AA does work for many. I am not an AA person, but I do work on recovery every day.

My addiction counselor said that, given my progress, joining AA may not be necessary. He qualified that remark by saying that, if I have multiple relapses, then I must join.

Any thoughts on this?

Thanks for any replies.

Thoughts ?

That is, don't knock it until you try it.

BTW, what is an AA counselor ? And, how do you go through AA ?
