new and confused....

Im new here and i guess what im looking for is to see if this is where i should be. I dont want to attend to any meetings but am hoping that i can find someone that is able to understand where im coming from and can relate. By reading your forums, im guessing yes and have lots of questions about my problem.

I know I didn't want to go to meetings at all for awhile. This can be a safe place but I am not sure if it is really substitute for real life recovery relationships. I would say keep an open mind about what you will and won't do. Don't let your fear stop you from trying new things. And willingness to do what you need too is very important as well. Welcome to the journey and good luck.

you have a great deal of acceptance and insight into your problems. And that stuff may seem bad to a normal person but I don't think you will find that it is very unique for people on here, not to me, been there.

I've done worse, and I bet there are others here who could say the same.
Once you stop using, you may find these types of situations resolve themselves and stop completely.

I'm glad you found this place. Stick around, you'll find great people here and maybe some answers.

what do you do when you look for reasons to fight just to give you an excuse to go drink

That is where recovery, as opposed to abstinence, comes in. Drug and alcohol addiction is a symptom.

"I dont want to attend to any meetings..."

In my opinion you should focus on doing ALL of the things you DON'T WANT to do.

It appears as though your 'disease' is dictating what you want to do.

Go to some meetings, get help, or be prepared for a 'lower bottom' to get you there.

Keep coming back.
