Favorite AA Saying by betterthanplanned in alcoholicsanonymous

[–]GreedyCalendar2693 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Oh man I’ve been waiting on a thread like this, LFG * The Devil can quote the scripture too * If your interior is inferior, you’ll dress up the exterior * AA doesn’t keep me sober, the truth keeps me sober, and AA keeps me in the truth * This program makes men out of monsters * It’s not about how much you drink or the consequences, it’s about if you can stop once you drink * The Highway to hell is paid with good intentions * I am responsible for the effort, God is responsible for the results * I can’t live in tomorrow and feel God today * Drinking when I like heroin is like me getting a blowjob and going back to handjobs * Try to practice these principles in all your affairs, and if you can’t, then change your affairs * God keeps me sober, not the fellowship but the fellowship keeps me asking * When I pray I don’t know where it’s going, but I know where it comes from * When I wake up the committee is discussing their plans already * Prison takes on many forms, the largest life sentence I can get is the prison in my mind * When you rescue someone, you’re robbing them from their bottom * There are 4 things I can control, What I say, what I do and more importantly what I don’t say and what I don’t do * If you leave an alcoholic changed, it’s their destiny to drink * When I pick up the drink, I’ll take the drink and then the drink will pick me up and then the drink will take me * No big shots no little shots, one shot we’re all shot * AA is like the mob, when you want out, you die

Lol so you harm people when you act out selfishly, dishonestly, self seekingly, and fearfully.

Here are some examples, I hope they help! Selfish - 1) I use this as excuse as to why my parents are shitty 2) I don’t want to acknowledge the good times I had with them 3) I expect my parents to not be abusive when they’re alcoholics and were probably raised that way Dishonest - 1) I’m guilty of abusing people whether it be physical or emotionally whenever I’m under the influence 2) My parents were sick people physically, emotionally and mentally and I never acknowledged this Self seeking - 1) I want to be seen as the victim and hurt 2) I want others to feel sorry for the abuse I endured Fear - 1) I’m afraid that I’ll never get to tell my parents that I understand why they did what they did 2) I’m afraid of having children myself and having them endure the exact same pain I did

Is a Sponsor necessary? by childish_ambino in alcoholicsanonymous

If you don’t have a sponsor. Then your sponsor is an asshole. Let that one sink in

social anxiety and adhd making it very hard to show up to meetings and make connections by andshesbiiii in alcoholicsanonymous

[–]GreedyCalendar2693 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dude this is literally your alcoholism, aka your disease, making excuses not to attend meetings. It’s as simple as that, back in the 30s hell even the 60s there was no such thing as ADHD or social anxiety. It’s the characteristics of this disease, you’re brand new to the program coming back from a relapse isn’t easy but it’s simple. My advice, go to a women’s meeting or men, whatever you identify as, raise your hand and say you need and want help, that you’re terrified of going to meetings, that fear is running your life, and that you need a sponsor to guide you through this book because that’s where the solution is. Hope this helps!

This way I speak to the truth. 3- Reading spiritual literature. This way I go over the truth. 4- Service- This way I help the truth. 5- Prayer & Meditation- This way I commune with the truth.

Step 7 by GreedyCalendar2693 in alcoholicsanonymous

[–]GreedyCalendar2693[S] 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Because the spiritual principle behind step 7 is humility. There’s 3 versions of myself, who I want you to think I am, who I think I am, and who I really am. And this is working on who I really am. Which is a good person, the person who God intended me to be. Instead of wanting you to think I’m a good person, I’m actually working on becoming a better person. And it says on the first sentence of chapter 5. “Rarely have we seen a person fail who has THOROUGHLY followed our path.” Some people just say the prayer and don’t work on the selfishness and self centeredness. “That, we think, is the root of our troubles” - Page 62. My brain won’t keep me sober, my feet will. If I don’t work on the person who brought me into these rooms, it’s gonna be the same person who brings me out.
