Addiction what a funny animal, It's telling you the only way you can be free is by drinking HA! In reality the only way you can truly be free is to not drink. It try's to turn you around. Telling you people are putting expectations on you. I don't think anyone in AA expects you to do anything but show up. And most of the people there have all kinds of problems they just don't have to drink to make them go away! Which I think is awesome! If you think you need to drink go for it just don't beat yourself up and make sure you go back to AA it works!
