you won't care about the right or wrong way in recovery

It can be construed that way by you saying, "WE are failing". It sounds like YOU are holding yourself or your group accountable. And I won't lie to you, my program is about me, I wouldn't have it any other way, because it's my issue to deal with. If you consider it selfish because I'm not actively trying to get people to recover my way, then so be it.

Sorry for the random advice. I just always think about ego when I read debate threads.

So people, please quit thanking my posts. Then I won't have to look (I'll just wonder why you don't like me).

Some of my fellow AA members might need a refresher
course in how to work with others.gee the BB has
a chapter devoted to that very thing...
Let's all enjoy another day of recovery
surely that required no debate...

People in an early stage of recovery can have a very black and white view of things. A sign of healthy recovery I feel is a greater respect and tolerance for differences, that can include some different means of recovery, as there are examples of here. If it works for you whatever it is I congratulate you
I find it disappointing when people debate over the 'best way'. I hope this can remain a board of mutual support for each other and recovery. I remember some time back a few heated discussions on the board which threatened to become out of control at times, but for a long time now it's been for the most part a better tone. Out of respect to Dee who put in so much work here, I hope we can pull together to maintain this forum as a positive place for anyone who wants recovery.

Maybe people will honor your request but I think people leave "thanks" if they share your opinion or if they appreciate your participation on their thread.
Anyways, very honest and it made me smile.
