Reply #12: I tried NA years ago

And it sucked. It was one of the most judgemental, least effective experiences in my life. I have done way better fighting it on my own than NA could ever have done for me.

Fortunately, I have the best counselor in the world: my wife. She has been there, done that, hated it and, when I needed it, she helped pull me out of the hole i dug for myself when I hit the bottom years ago. She is a great help and always calms the pain I feel when this surfaces.

Thanks for your support, I have really needed the kind words of strangers today. It has made me feel better and better as the day moves on.
