I
often questioned if I had a problem, but seeing as I had blackouts and often drank a bottle of wine myself in a few hours,umm I guess I did. I just hate AA its so "AA this and AA that" and "oh my life was sooo bad" and well honestly my life isnt bad yet, so when I go there I think "im so much better off than them I dont have a problem, but they were so f2854 annoying I need a drink" like the logic??? anyway enough is enough I stopped now and Im trying to see it as a new life rather than quitting something fun. Its actually good after 4 days (yeah ok) I lost weight, treat my daughter so much better and can envision fun without it. I read Dr Drews book Cracked and its kind of comforting. Does anyone know of any other groups besides depressing old AA

  | Posted Jan 20th, 2009 at 2:00PM Not all AA meetings are the same. The trick is to go to a lot of them then go back to the one that you like best. It's called your' 'home group'. It's where you feel most welcome. I hate hearing people whine about how messed up their lives are since they've quit drinking. These people are probably still dealing with the consequences from all of the drinking they've done in the past. Just ignore the whiny crybabies and listen for that one good testimony. Almost every meeting has at least one. And I must say, when you hear words that ring true for you, it's well worth the wait :) +2 nods |

Yes there are whiny people but i always think that was the way they were before. keep up the great work and don't give up! if you need someone to talk to I am here. +2 nods |
 | Posted Sep 10th, 2009 at 7:46PM A bottle of wine? Oh my god. Thats just the beginning for a night out with the girls....well what i mean is that where im from thats nothing.
