I hate that TSM didn't work for you. I hope AA does work for oyu. I stayed sober 6 months in AA and then 3 months a couple of times through working it hard. I hope you never relapse, but if you do, don't buy into the idea that you relapsed because you were constitutionally incapable of being honest. You have obviously been addressing your problem not denying it. and please don't think you are a bad person.

I edited to add this: One of the reasons why I love this board is the fact that it is open to other ideas. This is a Sinclair board but people are welcome to report success in, and tout, other programs. Try talking Sinclair on soberrecovery.com! They insult you and delete your posts!!!! You guys are a class act
