Good on ya' mate, keep on doing what you're doing. But I would still recommend AA and getting a sponsor, the sooner the better.

Congratulations! That's a great thing and takes a huge commitment!

However, the zero desire thing is one trick I'm still working on after six years...

No I think he should keep doing what he's doing.


Well done, odun! Keep it up and don't fall back into bad old habits.
