I wonder, if any of you would kindly share key words with me, been here for a while, won't bore you with the details.... I really don't want professional help, and I don't need to detox under supervision, however though processes, inspirational thoughts help me immenseley... Please share if you have any... Thankyou x

I can understand not being able to afford it, but to actively not want it is a real mystery.

I have had it, and was so disillusioned, I suppose I could keep searching for the right help. I payed a lot of money for private counselling sessions to hear a lady, discussing other clients, her own sobriety, and her choice of gaining sobriety.....x

| Acceptance. IMO the key to a happy and useful existence. As it is.

For me to finally quit....regardless of external factors that had happened or were happening .... I had to come to my point that I wanted to be sober more than anything else...including drinking. With that in mind...I wish you the gift of desperation Yes! we do win over alcohol....:  Good to see you here again

Being powerless over alcohol, to me, means that once I have a drink or two... I change my mind about only having a drink or two. It is my conscious, willing, knowing decision, every time, to drink more. I'm allowed to change my mind and drink more, right? Drinking is legal, right? I can have more if I want, right? Well I always want more. I CAN stop after a drink or two... I just never WANT to stop. (Denial) But... if I don't take the first drink... none of the above matters... at all.  I learned all about myself from a great bunch of non-professionals I met before and after AA meetings. I probably learn more before and after than I do during the meetings. |
