I am a writer, and in many ways an introvert. Writing is the most cathartic thing there is for me. I have one week sober today. That is the most I have had in a decade, and it is because of my blog. Yes AA is about anonymity, but my blog and my picture and my name create accountability for me. Not only that, but literally dozens of people have written to me telling me how they appreciate it because they have felt similar things, but been too ashamed to admit it, felt alone, or were not sure what to do. I don't care if people know that I need help. I'm asking for it. And I want to use what I'm learning to help anyone and everyone that I can. I guess I don't see anything wrong with that.
Thanks for your honesty, but you need to get in with the winners, and that can be found in a A.A. meeting. That is accountability that works with nothing else can, it's hard to drink when ur around people who r not trying to drink one day at a time like you. Please hit a meeting they are great.
Nothing is wrong as far as I can see. You are here. You found here. That's great. Welcome. Writing is also important to me. I've joined a writing group of sober gals recently. People here are people, all wanting to stop drinking. I have found that people do their best, not perfectly to share honestly what their experiences have been, their strengths and their hope. This is good. For me, I came here knowing I could not stop drinking by my will and wishes and after a few days of posting I took the suggestions to go to meetings. I will be forever grateful for getting to AA and I truly treasure the fellowship here.
Coming and posting here is like public journaling-with responses! This is not working the steps. I take what I like and remain open and unoffended as possible. This has worked well when I am able to stick to it. Hence, this is the blog for me.
