Yes we have too. We are drinking waaay to much every night, like a case of beer.

The AA program is about absolute honesty, acceptance, and the 12 basic principles (steps) to live by. We need to have something to do other then sitting ar home drinking by ourselves. To be honest...I have to be honest about and to myself. Maybe this is why we can't be open. Don't know.

We have no friends and this is an opportunity to meet people. Of course don't date anyone in the program...they are just as sick as I am, but not as much....ask my really soon to be ex-wife.

Me personally, I think that I can touch on parts of dissociation without saying it. I always hate talking about it because you have to explain what it is because people just don't know which is tiresome and sounds far fetch crazy to others.

I usually dissociate in group meetings and ramble on as every Other throws in their tidbit which causes us anxiety when everyone is staring at you and to realize that you have no idea what was just said, lol. We get to damn switchy.

We do fear being judged by our actions and words because they are so unique and at times eccentric or better yet...strange. It makes it really hard to blend into the background which leaves the only choice of saying nothing which in itself unhelpful. But if everyone knew about my Others and quirks....maybe we will be more accepted for once in our lifetime. A grand experiment to see if it works.

New Years Day sounds like a good time to dry up.

Thanks for that incite kecanoe...
Its just judge fear thing.
