There is a split in recovery, whether people acknowledge it or not (check out the larger internet) between AA philosiphy and the more scientific out look. It was in the mail. I think the recovery movement is changing, and I have no idea for the better.Surmon over.
I am confident enough in my recovery to hear what others have to say about theirs, and yes I reserve the right to laugh about your ideas if I wish.
I am not naieve enough to think my opinions will be met with worlwide acclaim but I have the courage to post my beliefs and accept that when I post on a public forum SOMEBODY WILL READ IT, AND MIGHT RESPOND TO IT.
The question then is: Am I mature enough to listen to the feedback?

How about me? Come here,year after year,spilling my guts about poor alcoholic me but have not changed one bit since I recognized Im a problem drinker.Some get soft and join my pity party while others tell me(in their own words) what a fool I am to continue to change the obvious "tsunami of life" Im doing to myself.It is so important to just overlook ANY post which we find offensive,this is an internet forum,nobody knows nobody.I could only imagine what happens when a member here disapppears,got the point and straightened up or is on life support from liver failure from drinking.Any online forum you join expect to have to sort out what you think is right or wrong and reply to whatever YOU think is worthy.I could be an attention getting non-drinker looking for attention far as you know,use this forum without hatin'!!! BTW, the volunteer mods here do weed out nonsense(I know from experience). Hats off to the moderators here at SR

Have you not made any attempts at quiting or moderating, or gone to any support groups or anything at all? I'm not trying to put you on the spot, I'm just curious. Also, did you start here with a different screen name?

Keep trying Homer and Doorknob, I did and one day it happened for me. Keep thinking about it and reading, something will click into place. IF you believe in god ... pray, if not you could meditate, anything to get the message to your inner self.
