> I'll try A.A again, but the god squad makes me take a walk. And blah, blah, blah. I'd go on and on. And on and on.
I have a tough time with swallowing the AA line, too. I'm *trying* to take the good in what I hear and leave the b.s. behind In The Rooms as they say. I don't go for it hook line and sinker. I did that once, 5 years ago - stayed sober but was a miserable git and ended up feeling like I betrayed my very soul. Also ended up getting drunker than a skunk.
Now I'm doing it on MY terms. Just not telling them so.
Plus I'm getting my support from several different places, not just AA. It helps to balance the message out. When it gets too bad I can sit with my fingers in my ears and say "la la la la la". Give me another cup of bad coffee and a donut, puh-leese.
