7 years Sober in AA and really struggling
Hi my names is James and I am a recovering alcoholic. I am really struggling with AA in general this is due to having a form of Aspergers Syndrome. I used to love AA and the people in it but last year or so I have had a few struggles. I live in a place where hardly anyone is on a program or willing to sponsor me due to me having Aspergers Syndrome and being on medication members refuse to recognise my sobriety We don't have a very strong fellowship here. There are not many AA events, just lots of meetings.
The people I know in AA don't have time for a friendship with me. They won't pick up their phone or call me back anymore. They say they are too busy working. We're not even friends anymore. And like I said before, if I talk about my problems in sobriety and not having social success, they just blame it on me and have little or no sympathy.
I hate it but I can't help but have a fatalist perspective on my problems. I see zero change coming in the short term
