I'm great. On the third day of my second quitting in the last month. Got the right tools this time so I know it's going to stick.

Rational Recovery/AVRT and this place. The former clicked in my head, the latter supports the former.

Rational Recovery is a self-help method. Found at rational.org

Addictive Voice Recognition Training is their primary method.

It is supported here in the Secular Recovery forums.

Welcome chuff! Great job on your 6 sober days. The early ones are so challenging, but you sound optimistic. We're so glad to have you here - this place has helped me so much. I never feel alone - there's always someone around to listen and help.
