@Haven you don’t have to feel alone because you’re not alone. Get to meetings – here and face to face. Get plugged in and do service work! I can’t stress that enough how important that is. Glad you’re here.

I recall distinctly, after going out on another binge, my wife and in-laws asking me, “I don’t understand, when your life and family and all you love is on the line, why you CHOOSE to drink.” The truth is, I […]

I have read the Alcoholics Anonymous book “The Big Book” several times over and have spent countless hours pondering and relating to the ideas in it. Bill W., one of the AA founders, was the author of the majority […]

Our lives are full of daily decisions – some critical, some not so critical. Some have lasting impacts. Some don’t. Each are treated differently depending on the situation and various other factors while other […]
B-rad wrote a new post, Came to Believe 8 years, 3 months ago

This is such a difficult concept for some to take, myself included. I was born and raised as a Sunday and Holiday’s Catholic as a child and the Catholic faith left a bad taste in my mouth. I thought they were all […]

B-rad replied to the topic Should I stop drinking? in the forum Alcohol Recovery Group 8 years, 9 months ago

I am a little late to this thread, but so happy you made it here. I would encourage you to read the chapter in our basic text (The book of Alcoholics Anonymous – or what we AA’s refer to as “The Big Book”) title “More About Alcoholism“. It might help you draw some conclusions and learn some facts about yourself. Only YOU can diagnose yourself as…[Read more]
B-rad replied to the topic Looking for help, for the first time in the forum Alcohol Recovery Group 8 years, 9 months ago

I’m really happy you’re here. Being an active alcoholic is not easy. If you’re anything like I was, you’re either:

Busy drinking
Busy planning when you’ll drink next
Busy trying to get money to drink
Busy making excuses about why your drinking is OK
Busy being hung over
Etc…

It’s a full time job. But, you’ve taken the first plunge…[Read more]
B-rad started the topic Made a Decision in the forum Alcohol Recovery Group 9 years ago

Our lives are full of daily decisions – some critical, some not so critical. Some have lasting impacts. Some don’t. Each are treated differently depending on the situation and various other factors while other decisions are instinctual. For example, I discovered that I always put my left leg into my pants first when I get dressed. This is not a…[Read more]

This is such a difficult concept for some to take, myself included. I was born and raised as a Sunday and Holiday’s Catholic as a child and the Catholic faith left a bad taste in my mouth. I thought they were all hypocrites. And I was right. None of us are perfect – people in church included. I had no idea that there was a difference between…[Read more]

B-rad started the topic 12 Steps of PTSD in the forum Dual Diagnosis 9 years, 3 months ago

Twelve Steps

1. We admitted we were powerless over our trauma and the effects of the trauma–that our lives had become unmanageable.
2. Came to believe that a Power greater than ourselves could restore us to sanity.

3. Made a decision to turn our will and our lives over to the care of God as we understood Him.

4. Made a searching and fearless…[Read more]
