Hi Shawn. Welcome to SR.

High Bottom Alcoholic or Hard Drinker? A frequently visited controversy here at SR. A question I have wrestled with myself. I didn't have anything close to serenity regarding that issue in terms of my own drinking at 60 days... How could I, my alcoholism lies to me. It tells me I'm not.

I absolutely understand your question... How can you help another alcoholic through the 12 steps if you are not an alcoholic yourself? You probably can't if you are not alcoholic, nor should you try. But why worry about that now? You are on step 2 and still have doubts.... you need to worry about yourself right now.... not someone else.

Take your own spiritual journey through this question and the steps.

I like AA very much myself. There is a 12 step support section where it's all about AA and the steps. Come on over if you are so inclined!

Welcome

Mark
