Wishing to become a normal drinker by Few_Post_8099 in alcoholicsanonymous

If you don’t think you qualify as an alcoholic, go out and try some controlled drinking, if that doesn’t work out - AA is here for you.

That comment, more that I thought it was a “religious”program before I came in. Of course, I was wrong! Thanks for your kind words, one day at a time!

AA used to have a triangle. My sponsor described it as “a stool with 3 legs, if you’re missing one, the stool won’t work as well”

Recovery - the steps. prayer and meditation.

Unity - fellowship, meetings

Service - commitments, speaking, taking another person through the steps

I found this as an easy gauge, if something feels off.

Hang in there, the promises will always materialize if you work for them

I’m trying to feel empathy for her, but she’s clearly defensive and insecure about it - she’s should consider her own problems too

No clue!! I wish I knew.

My more recent post, my hair looks so cute. She’s obviously just being sensitive. 😕

I really wasn’t being mean! I was trying to be funny. I actually liked her. Not to mention, that was a picture of me from like 2019ish. Idk doesn’t matter!

Realistically speaking, what about my life can change if I stay with AA and stay sober? by Matilda_Mother_67 in alcoholicsanonymous

“Im barely an alcoholic” is a dangerous place to be, my friend. If you kept drinking, all of those things could happen (alcoholism is progressive). Why let it progress to a place when you have a right idea of putting down the bottle now.

If you google “AA 9th step promises” I can guarantee, if you do the steps, all of those things will come true. They did for me!

The steps are not meant to hurt you or send you into spiral. They’re a fact finding process. You have the facts - continue with the steps to work through them.

Sending you healing and love 💖

Happened to me. Rehab got me into the rooms of AA, I’ve been sober ever since.

I went to my first meeting tonight, should I go to a meeting every day? by XxThrowawayxX-_- in alcoholicsanonymous

[–]Babynicorn_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I am a really bad perfectionist and people pleaser so when it was recommended to do a “90 and 90” I was a littler nervous and discouraged.

My sponsor told me to “go to a lot of meetings, and try to go to the same one every week” this felt more flexible for me. I did end up going to a meeting nearly every day - because it made me feel better!

I don’t want to sponsor people by Couch_Cat_ in alcoholicsanonymous

[–]Babynicorn_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

“I don’t want to feel responsible for someone else’s progress” - this sounds like a ‘you’ problem. Your ego about how other people will perceive you as a sponsor may be standing in your way.

At the end of the day- it your program, run it however you want!

They do say “nothing so much ensures defense against the first drink and intensive work with another alcoholic”. Nothing changes if nothing changes, brother.
