You will be amazed before your half way through. Take a leap of faith and try a sponsor bc God, AA, the big book and meetings did not keep me sober but having the guidance of another alcoholic who knew everything I was feeling and telling me how to use it all has kept me sober and the obsession for alcohol has gone.
I knew I wasn’t like anyone else. I didn’t need a group or a program. If I wanted to quit drinking I could - but alcohol was part of me. It was part of who I am. I was smart, highly sensitive, fiercely independent, my brain didn’t work like other peoples’…I deserved to be able to drink! I wasn’t weak like people who needed a program…right?
I was terminally unique - and it almost killed me.
Surrendering…humbling myself and walking through the doors of the fellowship…asking for help…it was the best thing I have ever done. As it turns out, I wasn’t unique at all- and I was no longer alone.
You are no longer alone. When I let go, I slowly discovered a life worth living…friendships that matter…love that is unconditional…a power greater than myself.
Agreed.
