Alcoholic Recovery Group For Abdls

[SoCalAB]

Hi there.

[Bettypooh]

Thanks for posting this While I am not actively involved in AA anymore, I am one of many here who has put the alcohol away forever If you are struggling to do this yourself, seek out this kind of support-

[SoCalAB]

Thanks Betty

I just celebrated 24 years clean and sober last month.

[DailyDi]

Grats on 24 years!

[Bettypooh]

PS- I'm just a few months past the 9 years clean point, and that is one of the proudest accomplishments of my life As it is with anything, those who have preceded you on a path can help you get through it more easily yourself When it comes to powerful things, that help can be crucial to your success- it's always an easier walk when you're not walking alone!

It's been 2 1/2 years for me.

Grats all. While I don't have an addiction problem of record, I come from a long line of 'holics, so I have chosen to stay mostly on the wagon because there is clearly an addictive trait to my bloodline.

But I heard/read that Wine is healthy!?

To much of anything isn't good, as they say My mother drank, but I'm not sure if she was an 'alcoholic' per se or just someone who didn't have anyone or anything to turn to. Sh ewas in a dead marriage to my dad. who abused her psychologically and emotionally (because of money) and I think she just drank to try and wash away that misery and loneliness Anyways, being an 'adult child of an 'alcoholic' I had attended a group for people like me abd yeah we have 'issues' and behavior patterns that can be troublesome to some or truly disastrous and destructive, to ones own person and those around you. I didn't understand any of this until I attended a few meetings. I don't fear being an alcoholic myself, simply because I refuse to let an inanimate object run my life (hides his diapers) I have found that much of this kind of thing just revolves around personal choices, and it's OK to choose, you have that power, but you also have the power to just say "NO" I never knew I had choices and could 'choose' until my late 30's and my world just opened up...and I'm a happier person for it. I should go back to those meetings, but I feel I have learned what I needed then. I have learned that that was back then and things change and new things pop up I don't worry about drinking because I don't do it to wash away pain and I know that there aren't any answers at the bottom of a bottle. I also don't do drugs, and really don't understand (or tolerate) those who do, but thats just me So, as said above, congrats to those here who are doing the work and living one day at a time I know that I might have had it easier, and it really is a struggle for some..so keep on keeping on Hope you get your group back together! qwack

Aloha,

I have a little over 12yrs sober and what we all have to remember is that

[VanDiaperGirl]

is just exclusively alcohol? or is there a group for diapered NA people too? been clean 2 years now thankfully, but without a good support system

[IncontinentGM24]

I never understood the separation of all the different addictions into their own meetings. You're fighting toward the same goal. Were all trying to do our best. 6 1/2 years here. Actually, six years 11 months.

2 months alcohol free.

The bottom line is it is the same..... Go to where ever and when they say alcohol or drugs or food or " fill in the blank" you put your thing there. I know we all want to be special with our problem being different but it is not. The end is stay clean and sober ... Going on 33 years between drinks

[Bettypooh]

While the principle is basically the same, there are different aspects to drugs and alcohol which is why there are essentially two major recovery groups; AA and NA In most places, if there's no NA group available the AA group takes those folks in; help- is never refused to those who truly seek it but you may be recommended for a more appropr8iate group if one is nearby.

Ditto to Daily Di about "a long line of 'holics and no real addiction".
