Re: Hi! I'm Nick, and I'm an alcoholic...
Hi Nick and Welcome to e-AA. I am jim and I am alcoholic. I came in with the notion that I was a 'believer' (christian) but I was just as drunk and out of control as any.

Re: Is it my fault?
Sometimes we ask the wrong people for those answers.BB Kate wrote:True. But that is no-one's business but the person doing the thinking.
And, sometimes, claims of overthinking can be made by others as a way to silence those who ask difficult (but valid) questions.

Re: Anonymity
Anonymity is so funny it's almost a joke,... It is no joke once we understand it. When we read the book The 12 Traditions of Alcoholics Anonymous it helps us to understand what the seriousness is all about. The back of the Big Book also has the long form of the Traditions which is helpful. Our pers...

Re: Last Drink?
Are there AA meetings in your home town? There are people there like us that can answer questions and offer sober friendship. We at e-AA offer the same. You are welcome here. I need both face to face help and online support.
