Check out SMART recovery if you're not as religious

Honestly how is alcohol legal

ill never understand why AA is so religious

It's insane

Prohibition

Because monks?

because companies make lots of money off it

I suggest you look into videos of children in banana republic shit hole countries every day for the next week. And then tell me if life sucks for you. They have no choice there. You have everything here and yet you want to choose more of the bad stuff than the good stuff. You can do it and you have it all here. Banana republic kids don’t have shit. Be grateful

After getting sober I realize how much alcohol is pushed in our faces. It's literally everywhere

Its already destroyed my family onxe

Believing in a higher power helps some

I cant let it happen twice

Not to my fad

Dad

I'm religious but I made myself drink, and I was the only one that could stop it. So I did it alone

Wasn't healthy though

The biggest thing I learned was that i didnt have a drinking problem, I had a living problem that stemmed from childhood trauma.. the only thing that fixed it was talking to the right people, tackling it head on, and a day at a time

it's never too late to turn it around ricky.

So... are you using it to escape sumthing? I know cliche.. but if you face w/e it is - wont that help?

Yes @amjurfinah

i drink juice instead of alc

What’s the numero uno problemo of American? It is having no problems so they always search a problem when non actually exist

aldi's got some damn good apple juice

There's things I cant let go in my padt

Past

that still hurt so bad

juice, protein shakes, water, tea, whatever works for you

I would take those things... write it down.. burn it. Symbolic purge. Then face a little at a time

Ya its kinda funny I went to prison n shit but that shit was such a goddamn waste

and it hurts

11 years later

The first rehab stinr

I cant forgive me

You are proally ready to face them. That's why its coming back out

drinking could end you up back there again. my dad got jailed from it a couple of times

Tbh im kucky to be around yakl.. yall are smarter than me and help remind me of what i should have done

> There's things I cant let go in my padt
@Ricky Beanbag man we all got shit in the past. You’re not special to be honest. You just have to accept it happened. You can’t undo it. What you have right now is the present and the future. The past already happened. Fucking accept it and move on. There is too much opportunity.

You are gonna hafta forgive yourself as best as possible. Can you use it to help anyone else?
