Hi Free Spirit. I do not go to meetings. People there trigger me. I talk to my sponsor on the phone, i have a friend i talk to twice every day for over 20+ years. I read AA literature and go on line. I come to this site and help people and that keeps me busy. It helps me stay right sized and balanced.
I suffer from PTSD and anxiety/depression. Alcoholics with their self loathing just trigger me, i don't want to hear it. I enjoy hearing how they worked on their problems by working the steps or trying to work them. That is how i work it. tc
