I let that sort of thing put me off AA years ago when I really would hve benefited by staying. The thing to do is try different meetings I think. If that is possible for you knb.
You are doing really well! This isn't easy, and a slip can make us more committed than ever to stay sober.
I think you are all doing so well guys!! ♥

I speak the truth and some people are uncomfortable with it. Funny enough , every time I share , at least on or two people talk to me afterwards and say they think the same., or thought the same, or done the same. I just say it

Incidentally this particular woman started harassing me because I told her I was going to try to moderate ( this was about seven years ago ) and she wrote me email after email that I was going to die and she how she is so disappointed in me etc etc. I had to get the police involved. She died three years ago from an alcohol related disease.

Nobody puts me off anything! I make my own mind up! But others might be put off if somebody expresses about AA too negatively. We must remember that sometimes we see and feel things that aren't necessarily correct. And we express our possibly skewed views or thinking to others, putting them off.
Lets try and change the subject now love. Jobei was just expressing like you were. I understand where both of you are coming from. I don't want you, or anybody else, to get upset. We are all trying to stay positive and sober here.
Try some different AA meetings.
What are your plans tonight? Have you got anything exciting planned for the weekend. Oh Ive started watching Orphan Black too, on Netflix. Im really enjoying it.
Love you knb.

I'm not into playing referee today, guys.
You guys can sort out any lingering disagreements (if any) by PM.
I bumped this thread today after reading the end of the last part of this thread.

I'm not having a go at anyone, but - hold the line. Be pedantic...be efficient, be strong and hold the line that you've committed to in recovery.
Give that AV no quarter. Don't let It win for even one drink

Thanks for all the lovely congratulations you guys (hug) I honestly wouldn't still be sober without this group. I know I don't post very much, mainly because I work 4 days a week and have 2 kids etc but I lay in bed and read our thread every night on my iPhone before I go to sleep X
The weather has turned from boiling hot to freezing cold here! We had our first fire in our fireplace for the season last night. Very toasty
My sober app is telling me I've saved $400 (assuming I spent $10 a day on wine), so I rewarded myself this morning by buying some special ketamine vitamins. Has anyone here tried them?
