Re: HELP! Suggestions and advice please...

believe it or not... the reason you drink is because you have a 'dis-ease'... which is to say that you are not at all at ease with the people/places/things around you and therefore seek an escape via alcohol or any other mood altering substance...

what most fail to understand is who we truly are... religions only serve to confuse us... what is necessary... is to find your innermost Self/soul/spirit... and how you do that... is entirely up to you...

i made my own discoveries by following the 12 step program of Alcoholics Anonymous... it has worked for me and a countless number of others... but it is only you that decide which route to take... i have given up on trying to promote AA because it seems to be of no avail... i can only tell you what i did... and if you choose to follow the same path i hope you achieve the same results...

if you wish... you can read the first 164 pages of the book "Alcoholics Anonymous" just by clicking on the following link...

and if you identify then perhaps you may wish to attend an AA meeting... but be forewarned there may be men at your first meeting that might try to hit on you/take advantage of you... i wish this were not so... but in truth it happens all too often... so... if and when you decide to go to first meeting you might consider taking someone with you... or if you have to go alone... try to stay with the females of the group...

i will close by saying this... sobriety begins by not drinking... it requires that you completely abstain from using any mood altering drug... because the truth of the matter is that we were sick long before we ever picked up that first drink or drug... and AA teaches us a design for living... a new way to live... a life of freedom that i would never have known otherwise...

take care...
God bless... Tweet
