cool beans on 2 weeks! we who have been there know that is an eternity.
"However, sometimes, when I hear other peoples stories, sometimes I feel like a poseur!"
i felt that way early one. when i heard of living in a doorway, living under a bridge, being locked up in psych wards and a lot of other insanity that alcoholism caused, i thought for sure if i shared about where alcohol had taken me i would hear,"thats it? you havent gone down the scale enough yet." that never came.
when i started listening to the thinking, i was no different than the person who lived in a doorway, the person who lived under a bridge, or the many people who had been in psych wards.
i learned that it only matters what alcoholism did to me and that is all the people in AA cared about( that plus what i was willing to do about it). there was no level i had to reach to get help.
