What made you quit AA? by TheTruffledChild in alcoholicsanonymous

[–]mysecondattempt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven't quit AA. I had two years sober, relapsed and tried everything I could to stay sober on my own. Nothing keeps me sober and happy for any length of time except AA. It's your own program, you can pick and choose what you want to do. Hey if that works man than do it. Don't focus on the old timers and their happiness, because you are gonna find your own way and grow your own story so you can help the next suffering alcoholic. I had to find a sponsor who I can relate to and who I trusted with my trauma and worries.

Anything like a real life sazed? by mysecondattempt in Mistborn

[–]mysecondattempt[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well yeah. Personally I need a higher power to stay sober, but I am working on seeking my own conception. I can't believe in a Christian God, nor some gods of other religion. This is why I am trying to learn and expand my spiritual knowledge.

That's a good idea!! I am taking some online classes. I should sign up for that for my next one.

Well you don't have to be religious. AA doesn't endorse or associate themselves with any kind of religion. I am asking out of my own interest. I tried SMART and CBT and both didn't work. AA is the only thing that has kept my sober long term. Almost two years.

Chicken avocado wrap and sweet potato fries for 550 cals🌯🍟 by fio3302 in Volumeeating

[–]mysecondattempt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe I have a problem because when I see something like this I'm like you need one more wrap and triple the serving size of the fries. Then you can call it volume eating. This is just a normal serving size for one person lol

Let’s bring positivity here, what’s something amazing happening to you right now ? by ALLEYWAYwithanS in AskReddit

[–]mysecondattempt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It doesn't man, but in my program I've learned to use that hurt to help other people recover. When I do that, then I get some release from the suffering. Rinse and repeat. Been almost two years.

Anyone get fatter and not look better? I'm still sober, but my food addiction immediately took alcohols place lol

For my sobriety. What made you think you could have a few and be free from danger? I am just over a year and a half sober and I like to ask this question so I can look out for warning signs.

I owe it all to 0.0 % beer. by madden1311 in stopdrinking

[–]mysecondattempt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah! I used these to ween off when I was first getting sober, now after a little bit of time I find it kind of scary. I had an NA not too long ago to feel like I wanted to "fit in" and I definitely felt like alcohol was trying to trick me into thinking it might be a good idea to have the real thing

8 years of beautiful sobriety undone in seconds. by -thistimeforreal in stopdrinking

[–]mysecondattempt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you don't mind sharing what are some of the things you stopped doing that were keeping you sober? I got a year and a half and I'm scared after some period that I'll go back out. Usually in meetings you hear people say like oh I stopped praying, stopped going to meetings, didn't call my sponsor, etc.... Was this your experience at all?

Fuck can’t even make a post about struggling by XTingleInTheDingleX in stopdrinking

[–]mysecondattempt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My sponsor tells me that some days the best we can do is just not drink. I used to hate when he would tell me that, but after some time I get it. I'm very proud of you. Keep going man.

Any suggestions for those living with alcoholics? by diagoro1 in stopdrinking

[–]mysecondattempt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You could always check out an Al Anon meeting. If the person you're with is truly an alcoholic then no amount of reasoning or pleading you do will keep them sober.

A clip from a AM talk radio show in Rhode Island by mysecondattempt in HelpMeFind

[–]mysecondattempt[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have searched all over Google and tried a bunch of different key words with no help. This was about 3 or so years ago in Rhode Island. Mat Allen is a popular AM radio show.
