I try to go to meetings, but life is very busy and my wife sees it as a burden.

isnt it wild how some people wont think how their actions (drinking) are a burden,then when other people do what helps them(goto meetings)their actions are a burden.

I have a long standing resentment against another member I can’t seem to shake off, I am sober longer than he, but he had the gall to say he has “more sobriety” than me, how can that possibly be true?

Yes! Today I do! My chair just asked me to run a meeting. I was scared because these were highly valued people for me...smart...courageous...good people. But I made sure to encourage and support them all and today I can do that. It’s not all about me!! (On a good day). I almost cried afterward. It’...

How do you speak up at work to banter ideas and concepts and not be “demanding”? if your demanding,then it isnt tossing ideas/concepts out. its trying to control the show. they are ideas and concepts- if yours arent considered, the sun will still rise in the east and set in the west and the company...

its all about the motive

I have nothing to live for or anywhere to go. My family doesn't want to know me and everyone has let me down. I struggle to hold down a job or make friends. I try to make myself useful but it seems to attract hatred from others. No one helps me out or takes me seriously. My strategy is drinking. It...

I have been sent and read a lot of the info and it makes sense....I am just struggling to get past that first drink and that first day and that first week etc. Honestly just so scared of who I am without it because I only know me with it. Any suggestions or help would be great. I want to take the f...

I can't imagine going on a trip with my sponsor. Sounds awkward. We haven't even had coffee. I have only been to a few meetings with him and spoken on the phone a few times. You might a gregarious type that becomes comfortable with people/make friend easily. I have not made a friend in many years a...

I hear people say that something significant happens. Do you somehow go thought I big guilt trip? If I have no remorse now why would I if I tell someone who is going to keep it a secret. I won't be held accountable to anyone but myself and god and gods not telling either. my 5th was unplanned. on a...

There is a list of promises. I hope some will come true. I’ll have to wait longer, have patience with the process since I don’t have faith in it. My 5th step approaches soon should I allow it to happen. Why would I fear it? I have already survived the physical withdrawal plus insomnia, nightmares, ...
