One of the best pieces of advice from wise AAers. AA has much to offer if one can get over the ego, pride, anger and "but I'm not like you" mentality that is often the case with us addicts.

I'm far from a regular but I have a sponsor who has NEVER given up on me in the last 5 years of wrestling with long-term sobriety. And I'm off to a meeting tonight where I will let the opinions of pink-clouders and zealots wash over me and delight in saying "hello" to a bunch of really good people who are just trying to stay sober today.

I'm extreemly happy and thankful AA & NA has helped save the lives of some very dear friends . They are happy nowdays and live full lives, some involved with NA & AA and some without .
It's not my path but if i felt it would be helpful to me, i'd talk to someone long term sober whom i admire and respect to get their take on it rather than anything from a web search .

Bestwishes, M

As Dee rightly pointed out "If I've learnt one thing here, it's that people are admirably capable of making up their own minds."
Thanks, That statement was made when I was a bit hot under the collar, but you are right!
