Nancy,

I imagine you’re now securely abstinent and living a better life of your own choosing. The key to closing the chapter of addiction is in eliminating self-doubt. Stay away from recovery groups of all kinds, set your confidence for lifetime abstinence arbitrarily at 100%, recognize all self-doubt as your Addictive Voice, and you’ll do fine.

This blog has a "Happy Ending" with RR's return to Google. Debunking society's great savior AA and the spinoffs of high price recovery and dependency and disease concept will be a battle against big forces of big bucks therefore RR is a threat to the pocketbook of a huge industry. I would like to see you on Dr Phil and maybe a panel of RR followers to show real human dynamic recovery.

George,

For exactly one month, since March 28, 2008, we were invisible to searches for Rational Recovery and AVRT. We have been busy for the last several weeks sending out inquiries, pleas for help, and filing complaints about the vulnerability of small businesses to Google error or negligence. I’m not sure what we’ve learned from this crazy experience other than how dependent we are on a giant corporation that has outgrown its original purpose. Thanks to everyone who expressed concern, and particular thanks for the contributors who referred me to important resources for webmasters who have gotten banned. Yes, it truly was a ban, and the result some reported above was a paid/sponsored ad with a yellow background. Back to the business of making independent recovery a viable option to all addicted people, everywhere! Jack Trimpey To All,

It sure seems like a overreaction on your part. Why would Google want to shut you down if you are helping people recover? I was able to find your site using Google.

After reading this blog, I typed "Rational Recovery" in the search window, and your site is only second in line. Maybe you should promote dogpile as an alternative search engine to Google? Jack,

Did something change then? I'm here checking things out because I am refusing District Court mandated AA attendance, based on it being unconstitutional. 2nd Amendment, Establishment Clause. Probation has not violated me for my written refusal, so I think I'm good to go. Having RR &#38; AVRT available to me now, I think my refusal is a home run. Thanks!
