I eventually came across lifering and smart recovery but became disilusioned because those two groups are full of steppers, i started reading on Rational Recovery,done the bullits over and over again and something clicked. My life is good today and i love the feeling of being in charge of my own future , not relying on some group of nutters telling me how my life should be run. To anyone reading this , i haven't read the book or paid for anything on Jack Trimpey's site ,i've just read what is there for free online, but i have a lot of respect for the man that started Rational Recovery and pointed me in the right direction towards the truth.

All I can say is I was able to connect to RR at the very moment I needed to find them and that is what the internet was meant to be,a tool to HELP people. I now use what I learned that day every time my addictive voice speaks,and yes it does speak from time to time. I am a clasic example of someone that did not fit in to AA and Rational Recovery has been working as designed. Thank goodness the next person that "googles" RR will not only get what they are looking for,they may just get what they need. I did. Todd D.
