carribian, thanks for sharing. I am fairly new to AA also, but it is making a big difference in my life as well finally admitting I am powerless over alcohol and finding God. I am going through some ups and downs, downs in the evening mostly. I'm not knuckling anymore and have found peace working the steps and through God. However.... the "RIDS", that is the first time I have heard of that acronym. That really hit me last night, I was all of the above.
I thought it was just being very tired, not sure. Still trying to figure out why, I've been praying a lot and today is a new day and a gift granted from God. Thank you for sharing your experience.
