How to get better?
AA is a wonderful place to be.. IMO. They are warm and friendly people who will not or should not judge you. Just sit and listen.. if asked if you want to talk.. and you do not, you can always say "I'll pass.." . I didn't know how to stop drinking until I went to my first AA meeting and I've not drank again since. And with the grace of God I won't drink today either.
try it.. you have nothing to lose and much to gain!! I have not been in months but went last nite wanting to support a friend and her son. He just got out of Rehab a week ago. What really happened is HE got his mom to that meeting and she admitted she's and alcoholic too.. and HE got me to that meeting and I've not been in months. Makes you wonder who was supporting whom. btw.. after sobering up.. and seeing doctors.. my PCP knows of my addiction and is just thankful that I am getting better. Also when I was at my WLS office last time.. I shared a little of my drinking problem. She was very interested in knowing how I stopped, because their office is hearing so many stories from people with the problem.. and they are not sure what to tell them. What I would tell them is... Go to an AA meeting.. if you don't care for that ONE.. try another. They are a wonderful warm loving group of people who share the same sickness as *I* do. hugsss
