growli.....I did not use AA, I know many others who also have not and have found a great sobriety. There are other ways.......so stop using AA as an excuse to opt out.
Yep, that was harsh. It took someone being matter of fact and harsh with me (who also had been through what I was going through) for me to realise....****, I need to make some changes.
growli.....you will keep on getting the same **** as you are now if you keep doing the same ****. If you want things to change....you need to change what you are doing.
Find an addiction service. I don't know any, I live in another country to you, but surely there are some. Find one with peer support also, not just clinicians.....it makes a big difference IMHO.
Never ever in my experience did drinking make things better, it just kept me from moving forward to a place where I could begin to heal. Find your way, now, while you can.
