- I am an alcoholic, my life is not manageable without some form of outside help, I do believe God is that outside form of help, I do have defects that still desire to be their own "god" in my life despite admitting all that. I use alcoholics...
- Hi folks. Around the first of the year I think it was, I decided I wasn't going to write for a year, so I guess I am kind of breaking my own rule, but let me tell ya, it was a really unnecessary restriction, but nevertheless here go I. I think...
- I have a day today where I will be working all day. I made that happen, I accepted that reality. My thoughts on working the whole day, my financial instinct knowing working all day is better than working not at all in a day, and me having...
- It's Christmas and so far the best gift has been the replies to the "Maybe I can get your thoughts?" post I posted a few days ago. I read them all and agree with them all too. Thank you all and have an awesome day.
- Like many of you all know, I use AA, to help me with my alcoholism. There is a part in their program that says this, "we continue to take personal inventory and continue to set right any new mistakes as we go along. We vigorously commenced this...
- I really thought it awesome that several responses came about from my asking of why the little amounts of participation. I like the quality over quantity input, I didn't know I was running people away with my honesty and character, I'll be more...
- I am just amazed at the fact that 4,255 people have actually pushed a button to join this group, but probably less than 10 people total rely on this group and try to participate in it daily. I know the site changed about 8 years ago and that lost...
- I was responding to one of the post about a sponsor and it got me thinking about fear, and how sometimes in sobriety early on, I wanted my own decisions for me to be made my someone else, all the time, and with that, I forgot my role and who I was a...
- The other day I was trying to see exactly what sobriety has done for me. I do see how it has allowed me to manage a life in a way that is better than it used to be when I really didn't have any power to care about anything others demanded of...
- For some reason, my desire to go to AA meetings is zero. I am thinking it is a waste of time. I am thinking I like the book more so anyhow, and the information inside of it is the whole purpose for it being a thing. I guess the only thing I...
- The last two days I have not gotten up and gone to a meeting. I have a meeting five minutes away from my house and another meeting 15 minutes away from my house that I can go to. Both meetings have strong sobriety there with a decent message...
- In the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous, it says that we are not cured of our alcoholism and warns of "resting on our laurels." I've done this several times in my several years of sobriety, and it never gets any less painful. However, the gift...
- Lately I have been quitting on people who I really on the inside have homicidal thoughts towards. I'd say that is a good idea. I'd also say that is healthy. The "world of ignorance" would say not so, and to not fight is the way of a loser,...
- In the Doctor's Opinion, the Doctor talks of the type of alcoholic who is "emotionally unstable...make many resolutions, but never a decision." If one is this type of alcoholic, I think the 3rd step is the saving grace for them, and the third...
- When I am around people who drink, and they assume I don't drink because I am a square, or someone who thinks it is "morally incorrect", it can become a huge cause of any resentment I have or end up having towards them. This goes back to the...
