getting sore and bitchy
hi all....I really dont want to **** anyone off here, just having a bit of trouble...feeling sore all over, and very bitchy, so i have to fess up about my problem with AA...It just seems to be that AA People aren't much different from the Jehovies that come knocking at my door at 8am Saturday mornings...its all about, Our Way is the only way, and God this, and God that...and well, God doesn't exist for me, so you can see why that kinda pisses me off...Oh, and the few times I did go to AA, half a year ago...there were rubby dubs there...a few tweakers...more than a few illiterates..and to be honest, i was kinda worried about either getting shanked...or in the very least, Fleas from the whole thing..And the Holding hands with strangers for the Kumbayah singing or whatever? felt like i should get checked for Hepatitis...This is only a bitch, i know everyone isn't like that, its just i am pretty cranky....but still not drinking tonight....

One of the most important things I've learned in recovery is to not judge people. One of the things that led to my downfall and my beginning to drink was the belief that alcoholism could never happen to me. It did. We are all people and we are all on this journey together, offering each other support.

Me a Jehovie? 
At 3 days, your pretty much feeling the way you should. Hang in there. It does get better. But wont happen overnight. And AA or NA isnt the only way. Just so happened to be the only way for me. And Oh yeah, I tried everyway. I can assure you.

Hang in there. Try a different meeting. Talk to someone at the meeting that looks okay. Suck it up as best you can, but please don't drink!

I completely understand you, that is why I have had problems myself. You start to feel like a goody goody or something that you are not when you get involved. I just look at it and take it for what it is and it is working. I am not wrapped up in it like some are. I used to have a boss where AA is all he talked about and the 12 steps, talk about annoying, he was like a Johova witness. Just use the resources and if you don't believe in God, just think of it as your inner self or whatever if anything you do worship. The one thing you must remember is that you do not have to make AA your life, just use the tools and use the people, that is what they are there for, even if it sickens you, ask yourself, is it as bad as drinking?
