Mad at everyone

Tanin · MIP Old Timer

Welcome to this forum, Sallie Mae.

And congrats on your realization that you have a problem. As they say, that's the first step.

Rather than being the end of the line it is probably the start of a whole new and positive life.

Thank you for sharing. Hope you stick around to talk here and let us know how you're doing.

Welcome. This is not an uncommon way to enter into AA. The insight is powerful even though it's sort of shocking at first. It's not fun to admit you have a problem, but it is freeing.

Aye. I remember thinking that a line like that was just so much rubbish when I first entered the program. But they were right. More than I could have ever imgained.

Welcome.

Welcome Sally Mae, ... ... ...

Depending on your drinking and using habits, you may need to consult a physician ... to help you with the withdrawals ... withdrawals may not only be physical, but also make your 'thinking' skewed ... your mind will start 'racing' at times and you won't know which way to turn nor have any idea of what to do ... just keep going to meetings and read the AA Big Book ... this will get you off on the right foot ...

Please don't be pissed off at everyone, Alcohol and drugs are the culprit ... they are the ones you should get angry at 'for now' ... Alcohol came in and took complete 'CONTROL' of my life ... it told me what to think and how to act ... I became it's slave ... And thank God, you've stumbled on the 'solution' to ALL your life's problems ... just stick around and you'll see ...

Take Care and God Bless,

Pappy

Hi Sally, August 25th was my last drink, no meeting for me yet but hang in there, have to start some where, this has been a great place for me so far , gald your here :)

Welcome Sally! Not to unfamiliar. I've seen it happen. God did for you what you could'nt do for yourself. There are no coincidences in this Program. It's a gift. Now the key is, how do we act upon that gift? That anger you feel may turn into gratitude if you stick around long enough.

Remember, no one gets here on a winning streak. I know for me, my realization didn't come to me upon wakening one morning and life was sooo good that I think I'll try an AA meeting tonight.... wink biggrin biggrin biggrin

sally i found out that yes it is scary going without a drink. but think of it as a scary movie...you want to be scared cause it can be enjoyed. be brave and get through the scary part and you can compare sobriety to intoxication. for years i couldnt compare cause i was only intoxicated.
