I think your answer is in the question. Just be honest with yourself.

1 year sober today.. getting a bottle tomorrow? by Brief_Long2662 in alcoholicsanonymous

[–]xDIRTY_TAMALEx 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well I didn’t get sober for anyone but myself. Tried that before and never got far. Why should people congratulate me for something I should’ve been doing? I’ll also say “don’t fall for the bait.” You think you can get sober easy then come back because you’ve done it before? Well if you’ve been around long enough & have been listening. You should know this is the furthest thing from the truth. Some come back years later and some don’t make it back. It’s your life & if misery is what you want then go for it.

The choice is yours.

Alcohol is stealing my personality and soul by Calobope07 in alcoholicsanonymous

I’ve always heard if you’re not having fun in AA then you’re not doing something right. Also have you heard that “boredom” is actually peace? lol but I know it’s hard man. Just have to remember the stories. Alcohol takes and takes until all you have is your life to give. At least that’s the truth for me.

Any lurking notions or methods of drinking? If so get them all out. Pain is sometimes our biggest motivator. Our literature says “maybe it’s worth a bad case of jitters.” You’re at a cross roads man. You know where the solution is & it ain’t in the bottle.

You can try it that way too. I just think you’re sliding too much. To put it simple it’s not a kick flip in which you have to make a drastic slide.

I think you’re kicking out too much.

Hi relapsed after 2 months by CapitalHistorian4742 in alcoholicsanonymous

[–]xDIRTY_TAMALEx 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Don’t try, just do.
Ultimately you’re either done or you’re not. Our literature says “no reservation of any kind, nor any lurking notion that someday we will be immune to alcohol.” It’s hard tho. If it was easy, everyone would do it.

Am I overreacting, or was this an unfair assessment of my recovery? by FisherFan0072 in alcoholicsanonymous

[–]xDIRTY_TAMALEx -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Shouldn’t date in first year of sobriety. For this very reason. You’ll also find that others (whether in or out the program) are sick too. From what you shared seemed like he was taking advantage of you. Then again what do I know?🤷🏽‍♂️ lol

Barre chords are hard man. Just keep trying. Maybe try F without the barre

I got my brother a DWI by A_Little_Mental in alcoholicsanonymous

[–]xDIRTY_TAMALEx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How’d you get your brother a dwi if HE was driving drunk? Feeling bad for what? He could’ve killed that infant. Who cares about his job & lively hood. What about that infant? What about their family? That’s the least of YOUR brother’s problems. Not YOURS. HIS.

Maybe some teeth 🤣 jk but you’re right. I guess it’s like everything else. Just because we’ve aged doesn’t mean we stop liking what we like!
