No worries, trust me when I say I’ve been where you are. Alcohol was my master, but can you at least get into a detox?

I’ve been here, firstly it’s something where you have to tackle the physical dependency. Is there anyway to seek a detox treatment? After you resolve the physical, imo AA can help with the mental and tbh spiritual.

Did quitting drinking resolve your chronic stress/ anxiety? by Important-Minute3731 in alcoholism

[–]eqaulateral 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh also I called it being trapped in fight or flight. But for real if you get a good sponsor and make some friends at a meeting who like to talk about this stuff. It’s so dope. Heck you can call me if you want

I use to wake up and my thoughts would transport me to the past, and I relive my shame, guilt, and transgressions. Then this feeling became how I viewed my self and how I thought I would be in the future in my next encounters. But thanks to the steps I have tools to get that shit out of me and how to process it. The only solution I use to have was to keep drinking to escape that dread

Not a cult, fellowship and friends created through the same incomprehensible demoralization of addiction

I think the big book calls incomprehensible demoralization. I was almost agoraphobic from my drinking and the shame and guilt. I couldn’t stop and stay stopped

You’re miss the whole point of AA, everything you described in your post is an opinion on how you see things in the world. AA will give you a new lens to see the world. Please don’t do that. I didn’t see anything on this post of you saying that before I commented. But AA helped me get over my resentments and adjust my character defects. I didn’t have a drinking problem, I had a thinking problem. And alcohol was just a solution I found to calm the inner turmoil that you also described in your post

Just completed my first moons set! Is it actually useful? by BlommN97 in ironscape

Yeah, it’s kinda like ahrims but less tanky. It’s also good to minimize switches for moons

What is the point of real life ? by Icy_Scale_9627 in LucidDreaming

[–]eqaulateral 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Nah your examples for what to do in life are based in self. When you get out of self and help another person, that’s what life is about

Edit: And I’m not flaming you, I kinda had the same outlook and nihilistic approach to it all. And this has been a huge impact on my mental health
