You are not alone here! I think that most addicts/alcoholics are isolators and we too avoid commitments. There really isn't anything strange about that with us. Meetings are a way to break that ice, to try something different, to be able to relate. One of the hardest things for us, is to know that we are not unique. That there are others (like me) who understand, and are able to relate. That is how we grow, that is how we change, that is how we learn how to be responsible, productive, members of society. Not hiding from ourselves, our fears, our hangups but the program teaches each of us a new way to live. The right way if there is such a thing. Glad that you are here, and hope that you make that commitment, to yourself just for today.
We don't have to make promises, we just do the best we can with what we have.
Love Vic
