Thanks
Thank you Tim,
Although I know all of this. I have a brain that needs a lot of repetition, the same ideas voiced in manners, heard from different people, over and over again.
This really came from the heart. Although I have been sober for many years. Tonight, I really needed to read your words, read them slowly in fact, to let them sink in, once again. After all, another component of this disease, is that it is a disease of denial. I need to keep it fresh and always have a beginners mind.

What science?
What science confirms this "truth?" People change their behavior all the time; sometimes its just as drama filled as your article but most of the time its not. 5 people out of 1000 are still attending AA at the end of a year. Does that mean they all relapse? No, it only means they are not there in a year's time. AA works for some alcohol abusers but there are other ways to get sober. And if you only focus on the sobriety, you will never get to the mental health issue that made you become an addict to begin with.
