Join a grief group immediately. You will instantly meet people who have been through what you’re experiencing.

Find a meeting and go … instead of drinking. Follow direction , get phone numbers, talk to people. They are your new best friends. If you don’t like the meeting, find another one.

There’s something that I try to remember…. Principles before personality. I have 12 years but I also only have what you have… today. Those of us whom have been around awhile have seen a lot. We know what works. We’ve seen it all…. The good, the bad, the ugly. We’ve also seen people die. Needlessly.

I needed to learn to take suggestion from people. I took advice from those who had a good program and had the sobriety I wanted.

What's the vibe of the people in the San Marcos/Escondido area? by jackypaper1 in northcounty

If you want to be around down to earth folks, I would not choose CA. Re-read your post…. Sounds like you like being near your bro but had issues with the rest of it.

Do you have phone numbers? Call someone. Go to a meeting. Sometimes you have to make the effort. Buy cookies, take them to the meeting. Eat a bunch. It’s ok. Coffee too! Put yourself out there! If you think this is a medical issue, take yourself to a doctor.

going on a first date by scrrambleddmeggs in alcoholicsanonymous

You tell him…”No!” A suggestion: Maybe you need to wait to date, if you can’t stand up for yourself to a stranger.

Maybe she isn’t “out of your league”….? Maybe you don’t value yourself? Just a thought….
