I'm going to sound like I drank the Kool-Aid, but making the decision to go to AA is the most important action/decision I have made. My drinking was WAY out of control when I made that decision...blackouts, screwing up relationships with loved ones and friends because of things I said or did when I was drunk, etc. I tried to quit drinking on my own, but was never able to do that. Going to AA helped. I guess I once viewed it as a cult, but nothing could be farther from the truth. In AA I'm not afraid to express my own truth..

I still get "dry drunks" on occasion, falling into old behaviors when I should know better. It happened here not long ago when I was making false statements about Sunflower. One of the reasons I just lurked for several months was the fact that I felt shame for precipitating that unfortunate collision.

If you feel comfortable sharing, what is the most regrettable thing you've ever said or done?
