Respectfully Dee74:

every time I try to talk about my problem outside of this place (at an AA meeting).
I keep getting thrown in my face GOD.
I DON'T DO GOD!
GOD Isn't the issue here.. a chemical/mental problem is.
I requires emotional support I don't have at home.

on my knees...
I NEED EMOTIONAL SUPPORT.

I can't get it else where.

I can't without being nasty goto an AA meeting....I'm not trying to be nasty.

This is me...
This is me begging for support and help....help in this forum....
Me knowing that I can't get help elsewhere. Knowing I won't get it elsewere.


I have to do this as much as possible on my own...

I am that proud...
But I have the big of a problem


Sorry if I'm terse....sorry if I'm crass


I am what I am......


sorry if I offend...
it's just my POV...

believe what you want to believe, brother - I'm not a churchgoer, I'm not an evangelist - but I do spark up when I see anyone ridicule someone else's beliefs here - whether it's Christian, Jewish, Muslim, Mormon, or Trekkie...this really is not the forum.

if it's not about God then why do keep mentioning God ?

No-one's gonna shove God down your throat here - least of all me LOL.
relax.

Hi BH:

If you want to solve your problem, you are going to have to peel back the layers of the onion and get in touch with your emotions. There is a lot going on under the surface here, especially when it comes to religion and God. You don't have to believe, BH, but it's almost as if you have a codependency problem here. Yes, there are some crazy religious people running around, but I don't think that you are going to find them here. I am a Muslim, so tell me about crazy religious people. I had to learn to detach myself from their craziness, and I would suggest that you do the same if you want to have any hope of obtaining serenity.

You have more problems here than just drinking alcohol, and if you don't look at those other problems, you are not going to be able to heal BH.

Peace.

As long as you don't give up on yourself, nobody here is going to give up on you. We accept you just the way you are.

Many people go to AA meetings and then decide that it's not for them. How is being nasty at the meeting supposed to help you with your recovery? Your recovery should be your number 1 priority, regardless of what path you choose to follow for recovery.

You do have a big problem, and the fact that you are reaching out here for help shows you that you can't do it alone. You need help from a higher power than yourself, even if it is just this forum. No one preaches religion here, so don't worry. :preach The focus is on recovery, working on our addictive personalities, responding to those who reach out for help, and hopefully finding peace of mind in the process.

Don't worry about it BH. You have a lot of things going on in your life right now, and we understand where you are. Welcome to SR, and please keep us updated. Let us know what is going on in your life and how you are feeling. You need a place where you can sort out your feelings instead of numbing them with alcohol. Welcome, and I wish you the best of luck in your journey no matter what path you decide to take in your recovery. All of us here are not going down the same path for recovery, but we are all here for each other and we are here for you too.

Peace.
