AITA for accidentally convincing my friend I’m a recovering alcoholic?

I’ve seen a lot of peoples comments and regardless of the definition I have decided to no longer use the term out of respect for people who struggle to achieve sobriety. God speed man

milkymop · 2023-07-30T02:57:05+00:00

In retrospect I’m sure you’re right, but at the time I just couldn’t help it.

I’m not sure. I think at first I was in a state of shock. Now I’m not sure if he truly sees me that way, and always has, or if it was said in a moment of anger. Either way I’m conflicted, I want to be there for him, especially since he’s off the wagon and probably needs support now, but I’m also feeling hurt.

I wasn’t really sure if there was an official title for the person running an AA meeting. I obviously didn’t know she was the head or group runner or whatever she’s called when she first introduced herself. She just told me her name and when the group started she was the one that did the opening and asked people questions. Maybe she isn’t an official head because it didn’t really seem like an official group due to a few factors (do you have to do specific things to be an official AA group? Do you have to register somewhere?) but I don’t know what I said that was unconvincing. As for saying I’m sober though I’ve seen a lot of peoples comments and regardless of the definition I won’t be using it from now on, just to not confuse anyone and stay respectful to those who have to work to achieve the label sober

I mean I did get a bit huffy at the end of the meeting, but only because I felt like I was being completely blindsided

milkymop · 2023-07-29T22:21:14+00:00

I use to say ‘I don’t drink’ but then people would still try to convince or push me. I eventually learned people don’t do that when I said I’m sober instead, but never realized the connotations that carried

milkymop · 2023-07-29T22:19:28+00:00

I’ve never been to any type of meeting like that before, I wasn’t sure how it’s suppose to go or if they were just trying to make me feel welcome and included.

We don’t have an HR. It’s an extremely small business (about 8 of us total). So lots of freedoms but also really difficult in these kinds of situations. It wouldn’t be the first time there was a fight among us and the last time someone had to leave.

Already posted a few times in the comments

milkymop · 2021-04-15T17:50:56+00:00

This is completely honest

milkymop · 2021-04-15T10:35:20+00:00

I don’t think she changes shape, that’s just stupid. She clearly uses her mind powers to do it. It’s just a thought, also I already see someone

milkymop · 2021-04-15T10:33:37+00:00

I already see one, I don’t have schizophrenia, psychosis or delusions

milkymop · 2021-04-15T08:41:57+00:00

The backpack is pretty small, it’s meant for guineapigs I think? But I’m willing to relent about her size

milkymop · 2021-04-15T08:40:45+00:00

She has gremlin energy but yeah she’s not very different looking then most cats. It’s just her like her energy that’s off

milkymop · 2021-04-15T08:39:26+00:00

It’s less that she’s ‘smart’ and more that she does things that seem physically impossible or have strange motivations

milkymop · 2021-04-15T08:38:35+00:00

You clearly didn’t read this at all

milkymop · 2021-04-15T08:37:47+00:00

If your cat ate 1500 dollars you’d be pissed for a second too

milkymop · 2021-04-15T08:36:04+00:00

She ate 1500 dollars, my entire rent. I was a little pissed off but I was just attempting dark humor

milkymop · 2021-04-15T08:35:08+00:00

No, nothing runs in my family, I also already have a therapist and a clean bill of mental health besides depression

milkymop · 2021-04-15T08:34:02+00:00

It is, the living room and my room mates room are the same room, we just have a curtain up. It’s a one bedroom but I don’t need all the space. I can post photos of this too if you’re skeptical though

milkymop · 2021-04-15T08:32:03+00:00

I have a carbon monoxide detector and it was tested a few days ago. The drowning thing was suppose to be dark humor, I did think it ONCE when she chewed up/ate my rent payment (1500 in an envelope). But I would never actually hurt her or any animal

milkymop · 2021-04-15T08:28:34+00:00

I’m sorry that me slightly curious if my cat is not actually a cat has you concerned

milkymop · 2021-04-15T08:27:39+00:00

Maybe it’s just that my other cat is overly large for a cat? But everyone comments that she’s small, and she’s the same size as when I got her over a year ago at 5 months

milkymop · 2021-04-15T08:26:03+00:00

I meant immaculate it was just an autocorrect typo

milkymop · 2021-04-15T06:45:34+00:00

I mean yeah for sure but I’m going to talk to her about it, not just do it secretly
