Tyler - good job in reaching out, congrats.
An added opinion that may help some people....
I watch TV shows and during the breaks they are constantly trying to 'shove a new car down my throat'... I'm so uncomfotable... I'd better quit watching TV shows.
I go to AA meetings and the people there try to 'shove their ideals down my throat'... I'm so uncomfortable... I'd better quit going to AA meetings.
My friends... you don't need to quit watching TV or quit going to AA meetings... you simply need to realize that everywhere you go in the world someone is going to try and convince you to do something. They're not 'shoving' anything down you throat, they're not 'forcing' anything upon you. You make up these untruths in your mind. But you don't have to, lol...!
You might benefit most from an AA meeting by just sitting there and realizing you have a choice in what to do, and what not to do, and that you are in control of your choices.
Keep coming back, stay clean & sober..!
