I'd really just like to find a few people to give me encouragement and support while
I realize that I'm an alcoholic and try to do something real about it.
I've gone to meetings before years ago, but only because I was being pushed to do
it by another person. Now, 5 years later after taking two days to get over a three day bender and once again
disappointing myself and people who depend on me I have to find a way to stop this dance.
While my previous tenure with AA was imposed upon me , I really did feel a sense of
camaraderie with those people whose stories were very much akin to my own. It certainly seems alot better to be in
a meeting listening to people who want to liver soberly for an hour than sitting on my ass drinking myself into oblivion.
I have no idea whether anyone will even see this post, but I guess I'm at a cross-road where I have to
decide whether to live in this insane dance with alcohol or help myself by asking others
who have been down this road to show me.
If you wish to respond, I could use a sober friend
