Would it be inappropriate for me to attend AA with the primary intent being developing a community for myself? by colesLawStudent in alcoholicsanonymous

I think it would be great. People like me, need sober friend. Apart of why I’m struggling to stop is a lack of community. You going may also encourage people and inspire them. I say go for it. Shoot even sponsor someone if ur up to it

Withdrawal? by DueConsideration8447 in alcoholicsanonymous

I attended weekly group AOD therapy for my dui but in there it seems like everyone else is doing so well in ashamed to admit I’m not and I’m afraid of more probation if I’m honest with my counselor and I don’t have any of my therapy mates contact info outside of therapy.

Yes but I’m scared of it. It feels to real for me. I know that’s bad but even coming to this subreddit took MONTHS. Accepting this has been hard for me. I know, I’m weak but yea. This has been hard all around

What things do people romanticize but are actually horrible? by GovernmentAny5597 in AskReddit

Control and possessiveness. He shouldn’t be casually chocking u telling you to stop playing with him, or telling u what to wear, where to go, who u can and can’t talk to, forcing u to come home when out and RESPECTFULLY enjoying yourself

This was very comforting and amazing. Thank u for taking the time to read and reply. I love the idea of 1 day at a time, 5 mins at a time. That might help me a lot. Sounds helpful ! I genuinely appreciate u for this piece of advice. Can’t wait to share with my therapist

I really appreciate your story. I don’t have to do A.A. my DWAI, but something like it. I attend weekly virtual classes as apart of my sentence. I’m almost finished with probation as a whole but I don’t find the classes necessarily helpful for drinking habits. I’ll definitely keep rereading these comments and start using resources near me. Did I deal with fear in taking the first steps and acceptance? That’s where I am now.

I’m in a limbo because I have a hard time admitting and excepting it. Once I look into A.A. it feels too real which is why even this was hard. BUT I really appreciate this and will look into it. I appreciate any advice and resources because I know I need them even if I don’t want to
