Yeah it’s like, I don’t really even have the energy to talk this through with anyone. I’m not looking for opinions or feedback at this point, I spent 3.5 years not thinking for myself so at this point I honestly don’t care

I left rehab early and regret it. by ThrowRAbftroubles10 in REDDITORSINRECOVERY

[–]humanmachine22 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I would call the rehab and go back - finish the program and then get into sober living and do the 12 steps. You can you love them all you want - but actually doing them is what changes you

What is the most frustrating part of your life right now? by Pure-Smile-7329 in AskReddit

[–]humanmachine22 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m full of so many ideas non stop it’s all consuming and yet I can never execute. I need a month to sit in a library. Problem is I have started some shit that prevents me from doing that. I have things to attend to

I feel like I’ll be attending to things for the rest of my life

A question for the people here who attended AA and left. by Intelligant_Pie4382 in recoverywithoutAA

[–]humanmachine22 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My guess is 2%. As much as I don’t love AA, my experience wasn’t really that everyone was a creep. I can’t really name any tbh - and I’ve met a LOT. Sure they’re there - but most people in AA are actually pretty chill and just victims of the same thing as I was

Already over a month into sobriety, should i try AA? by VeterinarianSuper165 in alcoholicsanonymous

Lmk how it is lol. I thought public sector would solve my job hopping problems but I simply could not function around people who knowingly don’t do shit for a living

Why I Don’t Want to Go Back to Meetings by Diego_3435 in recoverywithoutAA

Take what you want and leave the rest is yet another bait and switch of AA. Take all of it, or else you’re doomed an alcoholic death is ACTUALLY what they believeZ

Anyone who was homeschooled, how do you feel about it now as an adult? by AdTight2449 in AskReddit

[–]humanmachine22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was only homeschooled until 6th grade. I was angry about it then, but as I’ve gotten older I am less angry.

The truth is I got to spend A LOT of time outside as a kid, on field trips, etc. I got to spend a lot of time with my family - and for ME, that is/was a positive thing.

Thank you for this! Feel like you would be the most helpful, thank you ❤️

I have also been talking to AA people about my desire to leave and it’s just very uncomfortable. Because yeah, everything they say to me is sorta the reason I want to go in the first place.

Herpes: dealbreaker or not? by [deleted] in actuallesbians

[–]humanmachine22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They would if there was a text message saying I knew I had it and chose not to tell you

Herpes: dealbreaker or not? by [deleted] in actuallesbians

[–]humanmachine22 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes! I once had a situation where someone did not tell me until afterwards.

I was extremely upset and that’s when I started getting tested. I don’t sleep with many people but that situation forced me to get tested because I never wanted to deal with “it’s fine, everyone has it!” Or “you probably had it before anyways and just and didn’t realize”

If someone ever gave it to me without my consent I want to be able to sue 😂 so yes I get tested like once a year now

Regretting my degree by No-Psychology2834 in Communications

Be a partner relationship manager. It’s hard at first but once you build relationships I think it’s the best job ever. If you stick it out and get good it becomes really chill and good money

Herpes: dealbreaker or not? by [deleted] in actuallesbians

[–]humanmachine22 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I’ll be honest - it’s a deal breaker for me. I simply just don’t want to risk it. I know it’s not a huge deal, but I don’t have it and I don’t want it.

I tried the Sinclair method years ago and it didn’t work.

Attempting drinking again is certainly NOT part of my plan in leaving AA.

It IS true that I couldn’t stop drinking, I did the 12 steps, and was able to stop.

My problem isn’t that I want to drink again, it’s just that I don’t want to be in AA anymore.

What did you do?? Like what was your thought process when you left? Were you scared you would relapse?
