I don't knock people who find another way to get sober but I pray for them and hope they stay that way! Without AA and both big books I'd struggle.

There are many pathways to recovery. I practice an abstinent based program with the 12 steps of AA. However, i work in a hard reduction treatment center and there are people who have found recovery through that. I believe in anything that helps someone save their life amd live happy, joyous, and free without the use of recreational drugs or alcohol. (:
Many people I know - say: I don’t drink, and I go to meetings. This is what keeps me sober. Working the 12 steps Helps me grow as a person. It definitely improves my relationships With friends family and loved ones. It is a spiritual program, That has worked for many. I’m going to sleep sober tonight and I look forward to waking up sober. That’s my comment for tonight: keep up the good work yourself.
