Like I have seen folks mention on here before, it really does seem like it's progressive.I feel like im in a spiral and am just watching from the outside.Helpless.

I finally went to an AA meeting in my area (1 admittedly) and I could tell it wasnt going to do anything for ME....but Im a cynical *******.This comming Thrusday I have an appointment with I guess what I would describe, or what was described to me as an "alternative group".....a whole mesh of different people going through different problems.Seems like it would be more up my alley.I hope so.
