Friend of Bill Wilson here, I got caught up in the BS. Now I know better. 1935 75% recovered, now 2-5% recover if we are lucky. Oh my how AA has been watered down. Thank god for a book, that kept the way the original 100 got sober in tact. I am old school, I have not shared on my feelings in years, or what I did today/yesterday/tommorow. I keep that for my AA friends and my sponsor. Alot of BS, how is the newcomer suppose to filter the fact from fiction? They can't!!

Normal drinkers drink to relax. I drink to escape reality, and to get drunk. I have a disease, of both my mind and body. You want me to continue, email me at [email protected] I got no problems 12 stepping over email. As to help another, will help me.

This is my short rant................. ;o)

Drinking booze is a depressant. That means your motor skills slow down. Once I start drinking I cant stop, that is a classic sign of a alcoholic. Drinking ceases to be a luxery anymore. Now-a-days : For me to drink is to die. Or end up in prison, or become brain dead. I crossed that line years and years ago. Sure I never drank everyday. Sure some spilled more on their T-shirts and large beer guts then I ever drank. But when I binged, I got messed up. The fact is when I drank, I got arrested. Looking back, every bad situation with the police or anybody, was due to booze. I always broke out in cuffs, or in spots.... Seattle, San Diego, Miami, Denver. Dude when I get the obsession that I can drink normally, like normal people. That is the disease in action. My mind is trying to trick me. It remembers the few good times, and forgets the many bad times. AA is not for old people, under the bridge drinking from a paper bag. I am 30, got 3yrs new years. And here they got teenager recovery houses. ARC for one. I dont do meetings everyday no more. I get sick of hearing the lies. I dont care about personal info shared at a meeting level. I do a meeting or 2 a week, if there is no BIG BOOK STUDY, not discussion going on. Where only one person does the talking, if you got a question, you can ask it. I am in a crap shoot, my winning numbers are between 2 and 5%. Its either you or me when we sit down in the couch in some room somewhere. I care about everyone, but I have to look out for my best interests. I will show respect. I will not treat the rooms as a day-care. I will not treat the rooms as a dog kennel. I can sit still today, without tapping my foot for an hour. I can sit quietly, at ease, and serene. I will not think about crap statements made in meeting rooms. But how can I bring my message to a newcomer. How can I rise above the crap, and have this newcomer really listen. So hey man, again. To help you, I help myself. May god be with you. But for the grace of god. 24 hrs a day. Anyway I got a whole novel I can re-write. But I dont. I got all the "slogans", but I don't say them. ;o)

OLD SKOOL BABY!!!!!!!!!!!!

Read the bb over and over again. Doc Opinion is the main one

Sounds like a good idea. I'm with ya'll!!! Sorry I forgot about you Kate. I kinda forgot about everything last night!

[SeXy_AnGeL]

well...i have a reason not to drink...cause if you don't drink, and you wake up in bed with 2 girls, usually you can remember who they are and why they are there. If you're drunk and passout and wake up with 2 girls, and your night was a bit fuzzy...it leaves others to fill in the details

[Damien]

^Well, u just appeased every guy on here for a few days.

No worries, I'm sure they just passed out with ya. My bed is too small to worry about something like that. the girls would have to pass out on me...wait...hm

[karnovking]

an old friend of mine called beer "self confidence in can", whether he made it up himself, or heard it somewhere else I do not know.

Hey if you don't need to drink to feel loose and have a good time, then that is something that a lot of people don't have!

[Gotti]

dont talk shit about it if you never tried it lol

I'm polish so drinking is a part of our culture.... i got vodka in my bloodstream lol I never really thought about not drinking, it was always just a normal thing that everyone in my family does

[Cl0ak]

To each their own. Personally I rarely drink, a beer at a party or a shot here and there. Sometimes I don't drink at all because I'm driving. Thats my biggest deal just drink responsibly. As long as they don't get in a car and crash into my girlfriend/mother/sister on the way home and kill them its their business.

Only time I don't like people who drink are when they try to start shit just because they are a nasty drunk. Besides that go ahead and get wasted yeah its fun so why not enjoy it, just don't be stupid about it.

[-Davo]

hey this thread make me remember......I HAVE BEER!!!!

w00t!

[Jet-Lee]

I drink cuz I can and I don't give a shit what anyone else thinks. I don't have to explain myself to anyone so fuck off. Someone get this pansy trashed.

[twospirits]

Original question: Why do you drink?

Honest answer: To make all the ugly -10 girls look like a +10.



Seriously, To unwind, ease day by day tensions.

hmmm beer.
