Checking in, day 5. Starting to wonder if AA is for me. Going to explore some other avenues, like recovery dharma. Whatever it takesā¦ sober is better. Hangovers suck!! Happy Friday to all

Well i donāt want to talk poorly about the program and it may just be my current experience with my sponsor. I just feel that there is a lot of drudging up of the past that I personally feel may be better done with a therapist. I do like the meetings and prayer though. I just feel a bit confused at the moment.

@anon27700620. Iām sorry to hear that. Truly. Battling addiction and depression is a double whammy. And as the numbers show ā so often hand in hand. I see you have been on the site for quite a while. And I hope you have made connections here that make you feel better. And people here do want to be around a perpetually depressed person. No judging it seems. I hope better for you!! And Iām glad you are here.

According to your profile, youāre a little over 3 weeks sober. You posted that you were a week sober a few days ago. Now youāre at a month?
I guess sobriety comes easy for you. The 1st month was a huge challenge for me. It was an hour at a time on most of those days. You bet I kept track of every single night my head hit that pillow sober.

Either way it feels great be soberity
I had to break ties with my sponsor. I see a therapist and study the big book. No sponsor but I go to at least 3 AA meetings a week. You donāt have to have a sponsor.

Thank you. I do see the benefits of working the steps with a sponsor also and it is generally recommended by members. But, I personally think it can be a slippery slope at times to open up old wounds that could potentially cause someone to spiral into a very dark place. I will seek professional help to sort through the past and keep doing meetings, TS and prayer . To each their own though. It has helped tons of people. That part just isnāt for me i guess.
