Thank you for the support.
I hesitated posting about my experience as I was legitimately concerned that I might offend or worse, validate , someone's excuse for not getting sober. But after thinking long and hard about it, (and I am by no means waving the I know everything now because I'm 18 days sober flag) I thought maybe someone might be helped by what I'm admitting to. And I am so grateful that someday, if I change my mind, it will be there ready and willing to allow me to lean on it.
I knew it wouldn't be well received by some, but I also genuinely feel that it might serve the rest of us who just can't click with the program.
Im just trying to stay sober, and AA, for some reason i have yet to fully understand, makes me want to drink. Like, a lot.
There I said it....yikes....

That's perfectly normal for some people to feel that way towards AA. I have had many friends feel the same way, so they tried an alternate program of recovery and they are all doing wonderfully so far.
