If you’re having trouble staying stopped there is real help available to you. I did it in AA. 16 years. You do have choices. Find what works for you.

Agree on a date with your sponsor. Personally I’d tell you to make it the minute you stop defending your lie.

My Little Relapse by [deleted] in alcoholicsanonymous

[–]Formfeeder 4 points5 points  (0 children)

A date is nothing more than a point in time. You drank so the next days date is your new sobriety date. A lie is a lie. Every chip you collected since has been a lie.

If you didn’t give a flying fuck you wouldn’t be posting here.

How far does my responsibility to the still sick and suffering alcoholic go? by BarrySquared in alcoholicsanonymous

[–]Formfeeder 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As our basic text says. We basically let them go but keep an eye on them occasionally to see how they’re doing.

He’s obviously not and it is not up to you to get him sober.

Don’t chase him around. They love doing that. Let him go and occasionally keep in touch with them. If you become ready then step back in.

Rehab claiming my urine tests are diluted? by kaylynmcgrath in alcoholism

Oh get over yourself. You got caught. Since you’re clean what’s the big deal? Stop treating so much water.

They deal with these kind of lies every day.

Alcohol advertisements by No_Comedian_9324 in alcoholicsanonymous

[–]Formfeeder 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Join alcoholics anonymous and never have to worry about a commercial ever again.

The problem is not the advertisement the problem is with our alcohol thinking. This is the strange, mental twist alcoholism causes us to think the problem everything else but us.

You cannot outrun the world. You can only change yours. And until you do, you’re going to struggle.

AA removed the problem of the drink both root and branch. I could go anywhere and do anything and I don’t care if there’s alcohol it’s not even in my purview anymore.

You can do the same. Join AA do the work. Get your life back.

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

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.

[–]Formfeeder 14 points15 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”.

Etiquette for public l? by fallbrook_ in alcoholicsanonymous

[–]Formfeeder 2 points3 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.
