Morin All at SR, well i think ,maybe that i might have a drink problem. Yesterday i spoke to my kekworker about it , and i told her
just what was going on.! SO on wards , towards AA,?
Still very confused about were im at with it but admmitting it
to her made it more real. So im now not going to be complacent
about it if i can..?! and actually use some of the great advice that ive
found here....

its halfs of larger now already, not pints anymore.
someone said little steps. So thats what i will try .

if I can beat drugs then surely i have it in me to deal with this one...?

im nervous about it alrady....

Thanks to all of you who have contributed to this change of mind ....

Thanks SR.

c'est la vie

Yes, little steps. And you can go to AA if you want to get started with F2F meetings right now. You know there is a sticky that lists several options if that doesn't work for you. It works for a lot of people and I'm glad I went for a little while because it gave me a good base, but I don't go any more. The key is that you have SOMETHING that you are using as a recovery tool and that you are taking ACTION, not just sitting around wishing you were different (that's what I like to do a lot lol, and it doesn't work!!)

We're in this together.

Morning Arura,
Couple things. If you think you have a drinking problem you probably do. That you're an alcoholic or not, that's your call.
Next. You mentioned how good it felt to tell someone about the problem. That's how AA works. Every meeting you attend, you'll have the chance to tell a whole room rull of folks who are there to listen, just how you feel. It does feel better and seems to lighten the load somewhat. Give it a shot.

I repeat...
use the tools to quit drinking that you used to get clean.
Add AA

Hey Arura! I am happy for you that you are willing to go the distance. And I'm really glad you are doing something about the drug called alcohol before it had a chance to lead you back to your previous drug of no choice. Cause that does happen. Often.

Of course you do. You can do this. One day at time, just like the other drugs.

One Love, One Heart,
Tony
