Jules, I apologise if I offended you - I appreciate your thoughts and for responding to my post. I understand your reply was with good intention. Thank you for taking the time to write and best of luck with your recovery, whatever works for you. I support you.
Love and light to all.
It sure doesn't! AA isn't for everyone and for many it takes time to figure it out.. It's just that a lot of us dismissed it and then tried again and found it to be ONE OF the keys to at least making bigger strides in recovery.
I have found that this place doesn't satisfy my need to be around other people who understand this addiction. There is nothing like face to face conversations.
Social isolation is a big trigger, and I can't keep trying to be best friends with drinkers and think I'm never going to cave in and drink with them.
