three frog sitting on a log in a pond.
two frogs made a decision to hop in the water.
how many frogs remains on the log?

Answer= 3

it's okay thou ..i guess everyone of us if not most of us made decision
to stopped drinking and never took any actions to do anything about.
Because it was wrong time, not the right place, a wrong crowld of people,
circumstants not perfect to stop drinking, not the right program, treament centers.

and deffernently it didn't feel right for me to stop drinking.
Honestly, it was a pain in the ass. But i crossed that threadhold.
drinking made me pyshically sick also. It was a rock and a hard place.
yeap..i painted myself into a conner.

oh well...life was a mess so I stopped worrying about the perfect paint job
and walked on it. i swallow my pride and it sucked ass to have to walk into
AA again and admmitted i relapsed after 11 years of being clean and sober.
Actaully the AA folks didn't treat me bad. it was me..lol

i get you thou...cuz i don't think i have another detox in me.
it gives me about insentive to stay sober today.

i hope you find a way that'll work for you.
You have a desire to stop drinking ..that's given.
I admire you for reaching out and putting yourself out there.
Keep on reaching out no matter what

i as many of other alki...I didn't think AA is for me or I'm totally
into AA heads over heels. And i still have a bit of a time wiht
the god thing still as of today.
that's okay thou...I'm clean and sober today.
it's a miracle that I'm sober today

you wanna know why ???
i don't beliving in miracles

Maya that is beyond good enough as long as you follow through.

After detox it is up to you and you alone what you want to use or not use as a long term support group, use what ever works for you!

Your sobriety is yours and yours alone, if you try one program and are still miserable and or get drunk again take a look at both your self and the program you were using and ask your self a few questions:

Did I really work the program? If the answer is yes then you may want to try another program, if the answer is no then you may want to try really working that program and see if it will work for you.

Do not give up, if you work one program to the best of your ability and it is not keeping you sober and happy then try another one.

There is no program that is right for everyone, but for everyone I am convinced there is a right program for everyone, you just need to find the one that is right for you.

Remember, no program will work if you do not work it.

Please keep in mind that many times the very worst tasting medicine to us is the only one that works, that is how it was for me and AA at first.

AA was the last damn place this old drunk wanted to go to stay sober, heck it was the last place, but I worked it to the best of my ability and today I am sober and happy, both with myself and AA.
