AA Rooms

[Bob185]

I have been in and out of the rooms for a few years - everyone talks about "The Promises" Don't know why I can't grasp/embrace AA - I know I haven't given it my full efforts - I know I can't do it alone.  I hate alcohol.

don't concern urself with the promises of AA...just focus on not drinking!u need a sober support system!if not AA then another support group!

Aren't they talking about the 12 steps?  The best thing you could do for yourself right now is read the 12 step book.   I have read it through once and intend to keep reading it.
The answers to help us are in that book.  Get a sponsor to help you.  I am waiting for this woman to return from a trip and then I am asking her to be my sponsor.  I went early on Tuesday specifically to ask her and was told she was out of state.  We all, I believe need help or 99% of us anyway.  Keep reaching out.  Go to therapy.  I do that also.  Do you have close friends that will support and encourage you? That is so important as well.  Don't give up.  Help is out there.  I wish you the best. TJ
