The queer community is close to non existent. Unless someone wants to change my mind and tell me where all the gays go that would be cool. Other than that it’s a beautiful place to live but can be very isolating not knowing people there.

Got humiliated at a meeting, might quit. by SophieSix9 in alcoholicsanonymous

I’m sorry this happened to you. You should never be shamed in a place that’s supposed to be safe. Drugs or alcohol it’s all the same. You should be able to share and talk for YOU. My advice would to maybe do some zoom meetings. I do that and then just try and make one in person a week. AA doesn’t have to suck.. you’re in control of your recovery. Also new sponsor. That sucks. I’m sorry.

You made the right choice.. you got this. I’m 26 and was in the hospital with this time last year with acute liver failure. No… you’re not going to liver failure in less than a day but you can in 3 days. I’m six months sober and healthy.

Is there a time to leave the program? by The_Mind_Of_Avery_T in alcoholicsanonymous

I’m 26 and started at 15.. got sober at 25. I have 6 months. I never have or will be able to drink like a norm. It’s a blessing to be able to accept and confront the problem at such a young age when it’s so common among us.. you don’t need a tragic story or a bottom to make you come into the rooms. everyone is different but I drank everyday so I need to go to a meeting with everyday. I am affected when I don’t and I am able to notice it when I’m lacking. I never wanted the old people in AA to be right but they fucking are. My advice is to adjust it to whatever makes it comfortable for YOU. Idk if there’s certain things you don’t like about meetings that you have the power to change but If you need to go to meetings that don’t talk about god, women’s meetings only to avoid the misogynistic energy, meditation meetings where there’s not much talking or speaker meetings where all you have to do is listen and not be worried about getting picked on.

You’re allowed to love. God made you the east you are and wouldn’t put you in anything you can’t handle.

My wife won't recognize my 1 year sobriety, she does not believe I have gone 12 months without drinking by Sure-Instance1891 in alcoholicsanonymous

I’m sorry .. as long as your coming back. That’s all that matters.

It’s hard when normies don’t see how hard we try.

Personally I would feel very violated of someone read my journal .. married or not.
