one of the things i tell the guys i work with,

watch those expectations

try not expecting anything, do the work,

get in a good habbit of daily recovery discipline,

and without the expectations,

one may just smell the results!

the roses too

No single treatment is appropriate for everyone. The NIDA points this out. I had to personally find this out the hard way and it nearly killed me.

There is more than one way to treat addiction. So changing ones thinking, behavior and recovery program can make the difference between life and death.

If its not working...stop it. Find a different approach to reach your goals. That is how things get done.

i didn't nearly die but i was starting to die inside until i found something that works for me, because the only route i'd heard of before was so wrong for me... and while i have had some withdrawal this is the first time i've been sober for more than 48 hours without seriously contemplating my next drink in over a decade.

back to the original question, doing the same thing over and expecting different results... well, i think the real question is 'does that phrase help me to stay sober' or 'does that phrase give me permission to give up and reach for the bottle' because really all other possible meanings and interpretations have nothing to do with your (or mine, or anyone's) future plans for the use of alcohol.

Did any of you know that that definition of insanity is actually a quote by Albert Einstein?
