I was a heroin addict for 10+ years and I still occasionally go to NA meetings although I find it really tough to find ones I like around here. In fact I usually like the AA meetings better than NA but some AA groups don't want drug users that aren't there for alcohol in their meetings.Last edited by anexsia; 06-30-2013, 06:43 AM.Comment

I drink a glass or two of wine before bed probably 3-4 days out of the week, dunno if that qualifies as alcoholism in any way. It's not because I need it - I just like trying all sorts of different wines.Mechanical Bunny Media

What makes you say that? I don't drink right before going to sleep. I'll have that glass of wine while watching tv maybe 2-3 hours before bed. Sometimes it's wine, sometimes it's tea, sometimes it's nothing. I don't sleep better or worse after it, and I don't feel like I can't get through the evening without it - I just like trying different wines, just like I like trying different teas. I do it in the evening because I don't have to drive anywhere or do anything.
There's a distinct line between an addiction and enjoying something. If I had that one glass and next thing I knew the bottle was empty every time, then I'd maybe consider it a problem because it would be clear that once I start I can't stop . Brings up an interesting subject though - where do you draw the line between want and need with booze? My opinion is that the line when you stop drinking for taste and start drinking for effect.Mechanical Bunny Media

pretty sure that was a joke
And for me, it was the fact that I had no off button. If I'm having one pint, I'm carrying on until I physically can't have any more. Couple that fact in with the fact I loved drinking, which meant I did it every day for the nice buzz after 4 - 6, and it was a recipe for disaster - each and every time, I was sure that I'd just have 8 pints at most, and could never figure out why I never stopped at that amount, even though I truly meant it when I told myself that'd be the case that day.
Goes a bit more in-depth than that, but that's it in basic form

If one uses the term God within the USA he has to mean without any prior qualifications the JudeoChristian God Jehovah Yeeway (sp??) etc can't be anything else. Where the cult comes in, is the people of AA and NA denying that to get you into the cult and brainwash. Prefferably soon while you are weak from the ravages of addiction, esspecially alchohol your body and mind will be depleted enough that they know if they pull you in now, you are open to program more now than at any other time in your life. Hence the 90 meeting in 90 days. Also the AA success rate at only 3 months out is less than 1%. But they wil never mention that, AA has killed 100's of thousands of people by taking over and controlling the detox industial complex, and preventing science from entering into the equation and conversation. A huge massive class action lawsuit needs to be brought against them to stop this, but people in the US love religion and cults unfortunetly.Step 3 - Made a decision to turn our will and our lives over to the care of God as we understood Him.
Anyway, it might be different in the UK

Step 5 - Admitted to God, to ourselves, and to another human being the exact nature of our wrongs.Step 6 - Were entirely ready to have God remove all these defects of character (God's not even qualified in this step lol, did they forget?? or now we are deep thought we forgot?8 chars.......................Step 11 - Sought through prayer and meditations to improve our conscious contact with God as we understood Him, praying only for knowledge of His will for us and the power to carry that out.

yeah, all that put me right off the first time I went, which was about 17 years ago, was only when I went back this time round that I realised none of the uses of the word god meant the traditional sense of some bloke in the sky. But I do hear you, especially if they bang on over there that yes, it's mr white beard man. I couldn't be dealing with all that shit lol.
Really interesting though to hear what you said about them stating it has to be the religious god, that's definitely fucked up

yep. I call it like giving birth - if you've never been in that situation you might think you know what it's all about, and how 'easy' it is to stop, but only the people who have given birth can ever know what giving birth is like

actually, there is nothing in the big book about attending meetings. and aa is the big book. the meeting were added so drunks can get together and share strength through story telling.If one uses the term God within the USA he has to mean without any prior qualifications the JudeoChristian God Jehovah Yeeway (sp??) etc can't be anything else.

Well, for me personally, the meetings got me sober, not the 12 steps (even though I eventually went through them). Though I was led to believe, and I could be wrong of course, that the big book wasn't written until later, after the meetings had already started?
I find the meetings way more relaxed (again maybe that's just over here), and big book bashers as a bit 'Taliban' imo. Though horses for courses, different strokes for different folks and all that of course

i've forgotten that part of the aa history, but as my last sponsor way back when used to ask me when i got back from a meeting, "how much step work did ya get done at the meeting tonite?" hahahahha.Well, for me personally, the meetings got me sober, not the 12 steps (even though I eventually went through them).

and it's true here as well, most people in aa sober up and not do any real step work. it's super you have worked all the steps, we used to figure about 90% in our area did not.
i always enjoyed going to meetings, i liked the comraderie a lot, it's always nice being around people that are like yourself, know that and can be that.Comment
