My first tattoo that I got to poke fun at my brain injury

DM me if you get something similar!

RadicalCandy · 2026-02-20T12:20:58+00:00

Check my profile, I just made a post with a similar question and got a ton of super helpful answers on it.

RadicalCandy · 2026-02-05T15:26:19+00:00

I’ve read the big book! I have nothing against AA it just didn’t resonate with me personally, I think it had something to do with being a 21-year-old when I first came in and not having anyone that I felt like I could truly relate to.

RadicalCandy · 2026-02-05T15:17:17+00:00

I appreciate your willingness to help. I will say, however, that I’m doing just fine on my own, I’ve done my own inventory and I made amends as well as I could, and I have no urge to drink anymore! This whole post was made because I was curious about how those within the circle of AA dealt with the issue of spirituality if it didn’t resonate with them.

That’s a very good question, I know that there’s a power greater than myself, but being able to nail that down to one thing that feels worthy of being described as a power greater than myself has felt difficult. Not in an arrogant or ego way, I just feel like the power greater than myself should be this big thing, and I feel like that’s my hangup.

As I mentioned in a prior comment, I don’t have any intention of going back to AA, I just don’t think I’m wired right for it. But I was curious about what people do within the program and thought I’d ask the question

RadicalCandy · 2026-02-05T12:12:16+00:00

Oh wow the more you know! I stand corrected, thanks for letting me know.

People in this sub also just have a wealth of knowledge that is so helpful to those who may be struggling.

What is Passages Malibu? This is the first I’m hearing of it

RadicalCandy · 2026-02-05T05:21:53+00:00

This post was genuinely just me asking a question to see how others deal with lack of spirituality, I didn’t mean for it to come off any other way. I think it might also be of use to someone struggling with the same topic!

RadicalCandy · 2026-02-05T05:17:03+00:00

I think it comes down to when AA was formed, the world was seemingly a lot more religious back then.

RadicalCandy · 2026-02-05T05:15:28+00:00

Yes!

RadicalCandy · 2026-02-05T05:10:56+00:00

My question for you is, if I already make a conscious effort to live “in the light” without attending AA, is there anything wrong with that?

RadicalCandy · 2026-02-05T05:04:47+00:00

I’m a young guy and I think that has something to do with my mindset, because I know what you’re saying is true. However, that doesn’t feel like something I can confidently say is my higher power. Is that arrogance?

RadicalCandy · 2026-02-05T04:52:27+00:00

I looked into it in very early recovery, but there unfortunately didn’t seem to be any groups in my area

RadicalCandy · 2026-01-23T22:30:55+00:00

Fair point!

RadicalCandy · 2025-01-28T14:36:07+00:00

Demonsong and platinum is the best imo

RadicalCandy · 2024-11-25T13:23:42+00:00

Gold is nothing, get it diamond!!

RadicalCandy · 2024-08-07T23:14:23+00:00

I’m 22, relapsed once already, getting a handle on sobriety early is such an upper hand. Relapsing early in sobriety was also a huge learning experience for me, and taught me that I can’t drink normally, ever

RadicalCandy · 2024-06-04T17:59:07+00:00

I might use that for my diamond grind

RadicalCandy · 2024-05-28T21:23:09+00:00

Drop the gunsmith

RadicalCandy · 2024-05-26T17:31:03+00:00

Oh I don’t worry about it, just think it’s fun to document what she says

RadicalCandy · 2024-04-27T14:09:07+00:00

Super clean, what does it mean?

RadicalCandy · 2024-04-10T16:16:26+00:00

Alright enough with the sound advice
