- I'm completely burnt out on AA. I want to quit and I'm scared to bring it up to my sponsor. I've gone to more meetings, less meetings, new meetings, different meetings and I just completely dread it now. I really enjoyed going to meetings for a...
- I'm having my first experience of dating in my 30's when both people are professionals who work full-time and have active lives outside of work. I'm wondering what everyone's impression is of acceptable frequency of seeing the person their dating...
- I posted something on a personal level related to this topic in the Healthy Relationships section. I just wanted to bring it up here because I guess it would belong more here, in a general sense...not necessarily asking for advice on my situation,...
- I just had sex for the first time since getting sober. It was a great experience but also really nerve racking, stressful, and awkward. I'm a guy and I don't ever remember becoming so emotional and needy after getting laid. Before I'd just crack...
- I've been on 5 dates with a girl and we were really connecting. We didn't kiss until our 2nd date and our 3rd date we messed around a little bit but things were rolling smooth. She's been texting me good morning and good night texts and we've been...
- I'm curious what people's body's reaction is to alcohol if you drink after having accumulated a decent amount of sobriety. Like most people I got a chunk of sobriety and toyed with the idea of being able to casually drink after being an alcoholic. ...
- How do you deal with other peoples awkward reactions when your not drinking? I'm pretty damn good at being sober at this point but I haven't mastered other idiots stupid reactions for why I don't want an alcoholic drink. For example. I went on a...
- It happened again. I saw my therapist on Saturday and felt great, and now all the sudden fell into a pit of guilt and shame and longing for the past. Every single time I overthink things, look to the past for lessons, or look through old photos I...
- AA and my sponsor have both been pissing me off lately. The meetings help, they do but I hear people regurgitating the same crap over and over again, I can tell some people mean it but some people have just learned the right things to...
- Does anybody know any good books about starting a new life in recovery? I'm looking for like self help type book but something that really catches my interest. I searched and couldn't find anything. Right now I'm reading a book called The...
- I went through a nasty break up a few years ago. I did the whole "do me" thing. I did it from one extreme to the other, at first going out and meeting new people, hooking up with a few and then feeling really shitty about myself, to just not...
- I'm having a hard time tonight. I'm not risking my sobriety or anything so don't get me wrong this isn't a crisis, but I'm mentally struggling. I made a major life change in early August and basically have been sober ever since. I say basically...
- I know I really need to get into this with my therapist and I will next week but it's weighing on me. I checked myself into treatment for alcohol and drug abuse after a major car accident. I also started seeing a therapist then. I'm doing good...
- I went to a wedding tonight. I was confident I wouldn't drink so I felt fine going. What I was worried about was the immaturity from those around me wondering why I'm all the sudden not drinking or pressuring me to drink. I didn't feel tempted...
- I'm back again. I cancelled my account because I wanted to get off DS as it was an addiction aside form my alcoholism. I thought I'd seek help this time but I didn't. People here told me to get help and I was stubborn, people told me things would...
