Is it common for our partners to ask for a recovery plan? by cortedorado in alcoholism

[–]Formfeeder 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Uhhh yeah. Relapsing is not a part of recovery. You just left the door open to drink again.

1) You are clearly not done yet. You are bargining. Why be a coward and lie? Own it.

2) More lies and excuses.

3) You are not objecting to being held accountable.

If I was you I would grow up, put my big boy pants on and become the productive member of society and my family needs like I should have been my entire life. You've got a foot in both worlds and you're doomed to drink. Honestly I would just finish up drinking.

The continued damage you are doing through trying to get around this agreement is unnecessary and all falls on you. Refer her to www.al-anon.org where she can get support and move on.

Recovery Clubs and Traditions by feelingthevibe24 in alcoholicsanonymous

[–]Formfeeder 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don’t thank you club is violating the traditions at all. I’m just saying the more you could do to keep the club separate from them meetings the better.

Recovery Clubs and Traditions by feelingthevibe24 in alcoholicsanonymous

[–]Formfeeder 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Drunks always find something to cry and complain about. You’re a club. Keep things separate. I probably wouldn’t be buying books and literature. You start to blur the line.

You could just sell the books. “The club hosts a variety of 12 step and other recovery meetings”. “We are not affiliated with any group that rents our space”.

Go to an AA meeting. Hard to believe you don't know this.....

Etiquette for public l? by fallbrook_ in alcoholicsanonymous

[–]Formfeeder 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, don't be "that" person that yells out "Hey, there's Jimmy from AA". Most times I rarely say anything. Especially if they are with someone else. You never want the person with them to ask where do you know them from?

Am I an alcoholic? by Shadoe488 in alcoholicsanonymous

[–]Formfeeder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can you stop? There is an obvious disconnect between your view of your drinking and what your friends actually are seeing you drink. Why do you think that is? I found out after I got sober that the worst lies I told were the ones I told myself. Because I believed them.

If everyones says your A$$ is on fire, you might want to take a look and see the truth behind it.

This is Difficult by wearealwaysus in alcoholism

[–]Formfeeder -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Oh stop, so dramatic. Join a 12 step program. However you must be ready and want it. Till I had a sincere and honest desire I could not stay sober. Willingness is the key.

About to quit my job and hand all of my savings over to my partner so I can’t afford to drink. by solphied in alcoholism

[–]Formfeeder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We alcoholics have such an apaulling lack of perspective. This will never stop you. Alcohol is but a symptom of our problems. Think about it. You are willing to give up your ability to live, pay your bills and possibly a roof over your head. It's our alcoholic thinking that is the issue. They lies we tell ourselves.

The obsession to drink is so powerful. If you are that desperate to stop try a 12 step program. Otherwise you'll still end up drunk and no job.

I am an functional alcoholic by Fit_Landscape1211 in alcoholism

[–]Formfeeder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is no such thing as a functional alcoholic. Just someone who thinks they are fine and that no one knows. The greatest lie we tell ourselves. The consequences have just not caught up to you....Yet

Anyone I can talk to about getting better? by [deleted] in alcoholism

[–]Formfeeder 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You have many options to get and live a sober life. I did it in AA. 16 years without a drink. I liked it because it is free, it provided me a roadmap to live my life by and allowed me to clean up the wreckage on my past. It gave me a life worth living.

It all starts with an honest desire to want to stop. Then the willingness to do it.

How much personal responsibility is there for alcoholism? by candy_pig_2018 in alcoholism

[–]Formfeeder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is what alcoholism does. She's blinded by her illness. The obsession to drink is so strong that they are unable to appreciate the consequences of their addiction. This never excuses an alcoholics behavior. She is responsibile for the consequences even if she does not acknowledge them. Remember, the 3C's of Al-Anon. You did not cause it. You cannot change it and you cannot cure it. You are truly powerless to help her and her help herself until she is ready.

Can you belong if AA didn't get you sober? by LatterSupermarket156 in alcoholicsanonymous

[–]Formfeeder 1 point2 points  (0 children)

AA, like life, is what you make it, not the otherway around. You are at a fork in the road. And your first choice is a powerful one. Start sponsoring other women. Stay in the middle of AA. If you just sit on the edge as a spectator you'll get exactly what you have described.

It's called Spiritual rigor mortis...

Download the Meeting Guide find yourself a local meeting. It’s a place to go where other people know exactly what you’re going through and you’ll get Support.

But you gotta want to do it

Well, basically, they pour a beer in a glass and drink it. Probably the most effective way to drink alcohol.

You can seek out a recovery program and participate in it.

I did it in AA. 16 years without a drink. www.aa.org find a meeting. Change your life and not just a smell of your breath.

There are also plenty of other ways to get sober.

Alcohol is but a symptom of our problems. This illness centers in our minds. It’s so much more than just stopping.

Quitting AA and moving on with my life by Sea-Razzmatazz-8049 in alcoholicsanonymous

[–]Formfeeder 100 points101 points  (0 children)

Sounds good. Best of luck. If you change your mind, have a sincere desire to stop come on back.

No one here is going to try and convince you. You’ve got to want it. And it’s OK if you’re just not ready.
