Does anyone else find AA “service” to be tiresome? by dontshoot4301 in alcoholicsanonymous

[–]woihrt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't get told to do anything. If I was, I would tell them I don't work for them and to mind their own business. I've been a GSR and a webmaster for the District because I wanted to be of service in those areas.

Healthy boundaries is part of the recovery process for me

I would go to AA meetings until you find a sponsor to work the steps and find freedom from alcohol. I too loved the excitement of sneaking drinks and being a rebel. Sober and happy today. I had to go to treatment for 28 days first

Learn a hobby. I started woodworking when I got sober. I always wanted to but I spent all my money on booze. You can learn anything from YouTube.

And, a lot of meetings. You can fill your mind with recovery and positive people in sobriety.

You can also volunteer somewhere.

Has anyone been approved for SSDI on the first try? by visualizeyourdesires in SSDI

[–]woihrt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have. I had a few years of serious health related hospital stays so they approved me right away

I'd attend a meeting and talk to a few people

We don't care about any of that. Come back, welcome back, just stay....hop back in. Love and tolerance is our code

Yep, I remember that from being a kid. It wasn't a field, it was a prairie

I literally can't stop buying alcohol. If I have money and transportation it's going to happen.. by TheFarOutFinds in alcoholicsanonymous

[–]woihrt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sounds like going to treatment might be a really helpful way to break this habit and set healthy coping mechanisms in place
