The internet has give us a plethora of ways to seek out a way to recover. AA, NA is not our only option anymore, BUT it is a good one. To put it midly we have NO reason to Not Recover. Some call it a disease, some say it it's a choice, I say it does not matter. What matters is we have choices. We do not need to go to "Passages" in Malibu to detox, you can help yourself, you can find your own way. Recovery is possible.
This is not a thread to argue about, not a thread to say whose choice of Recovery is better and whose is not. You may not like one way of recovery but your friend Bob does and it saved his life, so please respect it, because without it, you would not have him or many others as friends.
You are not alone many people ARE all in this together, I think that we forget that sometimes in trying to prove ourselves right.
