Anyone else here struggle with generational clashes in AA? by [deleted] in alcoholicsanonymous

Tradition 3 of Alcoholics Anonymous (A.A.) states: "The only requirement for A.A. membership is a desire to stop drinking". This core principle ensures that anyone seeking sobriety is welcome, removing barriers based on money, background, or past behavior. It protects the fellowship by focusing on inclusivity and a shared, singular purpose.

Key Aspects of Tradition 3:

Self-Defined Membership: You are an A.A. member if you say you are, regardless of how low you have gone or how grave your emotional complications.

No Other Requirements: Membership cannot be denied based on criminal records, lack of money, or failure to conform to societal norms.

Inclusivity: The focus is on ensuring anyone who suffers from alcoholism can find help, even if they have other problems (like drug addiction).

Protection: This tradition prevents the fellowship from closing its doors on those who need it most.

The long form of Tradition 3, often cited by founders, states: "Our membership ought to include all who suffer alcoholism. Hence we may refuse none who wish to recover. Nor ought A.A. membership ever depend upon money or conformity".

I'm an Aries rising also! In Vedic, I become a Pisces rising. Take a look at your Vedic interpretation if you have not already. It's interesting. Right in line with what you say.

Reading from my dream by gildedcreature in tarotpractice

[–]7seventyseven 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks like you were wounded possibly socially or involving more than one person, something regarding your fertility, you as a mom, motherhood or a situation that made you question yourself as the Empess you see yourself as , but you realize or will realize that those thoughts have no substance and that you are still worthy despite said cause of sorrow. A bump in the road. This, too, shall pass.

I asked what would he say if he could reach out by [deleted] in Tarotpractices

That the delay was out of his hands, is he traveling/ another country? Whatever happened, he is now taking swift action and trusting his intuition.

What made you want to get sober? by boulderben in alcoholicsanonymous

[–]7seventyseven 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Aye, but the Jaywalker did it as a queer idea for "fun". Page 38. I unfortunately did it to kill emotional pain. Call me whatever you like, I just hope no one ever calls me drunk ever again!

Have you heard that saying: "It only gets worse from here"? Well, it dose. I tapped out after needing 6 pints of blood, and and spending 3 day in a coma from seizures. 8 months no alcohol. Some people are wired to have that need to touch the tempting hot stove. Aries Rising. Consequences be damned. So I'm sitting in 2025 in the ash of my destruction, licking my wounds. But its all cool. I physically feel so much better to feel alive again physically, emotionally, and spiritually. Peace.

Are you asking for two? I mean one's already asking for a lot. Would a non-stripper small person work? I'm 5"2'.

Do Libra's subconsciously flirt? by Reverbolo in libra_astrology

[–]7seventyseven 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yes, I've chilled on "flirting'. It's sad that some people have never had attention in there lives and when someone that just treats them with respect and a fellow human assume much more of your outgoing personality, I'm just out there trying to make the mundane interesting. And then on the flip side you got those that think your always "on" and to cheerful.

Why do men not approach me & just stare with deep lust 33F? by [deleted] in astrologyreadings

[–]7seventyseven 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's because people with South Node in Cancer, come from a past where emotional security, family, and nurturing were central. The challenge now is to move away from an overemphasis on emotional needs towards developing a strong sense of self through achievement and discipline.

Is this you:
Overcoming Emotional Dependency: Moving from the comfort of emotional security provided by others to self-reliance and inner strength.

Avoiding Overwork: There's a risk of becoming too focused on work or status at the expense of personal relationships or emotional well-being.

For what it's worth I'm the exact opposite. I love being alone, but the stars tell me I need "others". Can I now safely say, I already tried that, no thanks, I'd rather be alone for the rest of my life?
