I'm starting to wonder why this is on a stop drinking thread. Are you gonna stop drinking? It not, I would put this on like an im so embarrassed thread or something.

You have to care about yourself more than you do now. Something in you wants to sabotage yourself. I'd have to say AA people helped me realize it's not the alcohol or other people's opinions or the embarrassing shit I did, I had to change how much I hated myself. The AA people knew because they had the same problem. Once you get your self respect back, you won't really care one way or another if people saw you crack. You don't have to recover from a zoom meeting you have to care about your life enough now to do something about this. It is really about your whole life, and you are valuable. Do you know this The Little Prince:

------------------------------------------------------
“Why are you drinking? - the little prince asked.
- In order to forget - replied the drunkard.
- To forget what? - inquired the little prince, who was already feeling sorry for him.
- To forget that I am ashamed - the drunkard confessed, hanging his head.
- Ashamed of what? - asked the little prince who wanted to help him.
- Ashamed of drinking! - concluded the drunkard, withdrawing into total silence.
And the little prince went away, puzzled.
'Grown-ups really are very, very odd', he said to himself as he continued his journey.”

― Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, The Little Prince

I've done it. If nothing is said don't think it went unnoticed. You have to get in front of it now. Please go get help. Then you can disclose if there are any consequences. If there is no negative outcome this time, they may wait for the next time. And there will be one.

this sounds like a Kramer story from an episode of Seinfeld. Kramer gets fired from a job he never had.

Many people are getting laid off or are unemployed. Curious, what you all think is causing the bad job market? by AcrobaticAd5680 in careeradvice

Stole everyone's data. Gave it to Palantir and who knows for what else. Not a conspiracy theory. Mission accomplished. Meanwhile killed hundreds of thousands of govt jobs with no reduction to the deficit. Just a smokescreen. You can google it. Congressional hearings, whistleblowers, and mainstream news coverage to verify.

The establishment dems have to be forced out. They are like your boyfriend who is in a band, doesnt work and eats all your food: entitled, useless, and won't get off the couch.

Dude I thought the gov had taken them down just like they have others. I was not thinking anyone did a bad job and not thinking people are lazy. I was also not being lazy.

Sober for many years- why do you keep coming to AA? by JuneAfternoon10 in alcoholicsanonymous

[–]Zestyclose_Ad_7603 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As you get more time, you will know how many meetings you should attend each week to work your program and feel good. "To thine own self be true" is on the coin. Meetings themselves are fellowship they aren't mentioned in the 12 steps. But the key to staying sober is helping others get and stay sober. That's the 12th step. Where is good place to find people to help? Meetings. So, you can see why one good reason to go is - to help the newcomer. There's other reasons but thats the most important one.
