I can relate to that slow and congrats. You are amoung very few that
could make it. Not everyone can do it on their own. I went several years
without attending a meeting and by the grace of god I am still sober
today. I can remember early on though when I first heard 90 in 90 I
ended up with over 100 meetings in my first 14 days on my first attempt
to get sober. Did not help me I still went out after that. It wasnt till
I really believed I would die if I drank again that I was able to work
the program to work for me.

I know all of you that read my postings also know I do not preach. What
bothered me about this thread was the use of the AA tradename and
copyright without their consent as well as the few negative comments
about the organisation.

It may not be for everyone that is fine but there are many people out
there suffering that can use all the help they can get. That
organisation has helped more people with this problem then any other in
the entire world. They do it in 12 steps.

Are you all Familiar with Smart recovery?

It's an alturnative to AA forthe none religious folks.

Ghost tell us more?

Smart recovery, huh?

Is that like actually trying to quit?

LOL

well kevin i wish you the best of luck, i know it's not easy it just
comes down to what i want more. life or booze, and i choose life.
believe it or not you don't need to drink to have a good time.

These days I dont have the time or desire to drink actually slow

So are the classes really involved? Ive never been myself, so i don't
really know where ya'll are comin from.

I used to drink pretty hard, but it just got to costly/old/painful.

I drank to forget.

you drank for all the wrong reasons golf.

So there area right reasons?

Just socially is how i think its right, My motto now is
"i like to drink not drownd"

why the sudden change kevin?

there are no reasons, but drinking to forget whatever is not going to
solve anything.

Ya i learned that after being arrested for drunk in public.

But you have to experiance to learn right?

not really...listening would help.

My name is Animal..and I have a drinking problem....

Brad starts drinking at 3:00 and has 2 drinks/hr. Paul doesn't start
drinking until 6:00. How many drinks/hr must Paul have to catch up to
Brad by 10:00?

3.5 drinks per hour.

LMFAOOO..that was quick

just leave the math to us professional lab nerds.

is this AA?........o it is....... can u sign this parole paper so i can
get back 2 the BAR?........good lookin out.....later

to be honest a suppport thread doesn't sound like an entirely horrible
idea. i think it would work.

Heather ever hear of SLA it is also a 12 step program which might be
more appropriate for a dating site. If it were not for the anonominity.
