I don't have issues here so much as I can read what I want to and leave the rest alone. I do identify in a way as I found AA meetings began to be counterproductive for me and cause more drinking thinking than they solved after a while. I am not downing AA, but after a few hundred or a thousand meetings I found them to be counter productive for myself or at least the ones I was attending.
What I have found that works for me is just to fully engage life. I set goals and it gives me something to achieve. Me not being able to successfully drink is a give so I seek to do other things.
Yes, I can understand how discussing drinking all the time or being in a forum and doing so may cause issues. For me however, I find this forum helps or at least if offers me some grounding and I find it interesting. We are all much the same and a lot different.
