Snooz, you pretty much summed up my feelings regarding AA as well. While I do think it is a wonderful program for many, I just don't think it is for me either. I understand it takes hard work to get and stay sober, but the implication yesterday was that you will not stay sober unless you work the steps, get a sponsor, surrender to your HP, etc. I don't know, maybe it was just the meeting yesterday because there was a newbie there, but I left feeling discouraged - that I won't be able to stay sober unless I work their program. I hope I haven't offended any AA people out there. Like I said, I think it is a great program that has saved many people's lives. Ok, I'm rambling again, sorry!
Dee, prayers and thoughts for your Mum as well
