A question

If your in AA, can you still be an active drinker? My moms drinking again and i asked her about it and she said you can. Can you?

Ashley -

If your mom was serious about her sobriety and a program of recovery - she would not be drinking at all..

AA has all types of people that are in different levels of recovery.

Sometimes even if they are drinking but going to AA meetings, she may hear something or a message that makes her quit.

Don't give up hope..Let your mom worry about her drinking...

Remember there are three C's:

you didn't Cause it, you can't Cure it and you can't control it.

hope you are doing better...

big hug,

Minx

Yes: I believe all that is necessary is "a desire to stop drinking"....maybe you"d like to check the AA site on this board,if you'd like to know more

yep, that is the only requirement. I attended a lot of meetings stinking of booze... even drunk. It is requested that if you did drink that day that you don't talk/share. Just listen.
