People say go to AA to stop drinking!?
I have gone to AA and it does not really help me the place I go! The other day people were putting booze in there coffee, they walked outside to smoke and were drinking wtf? Then I am in the grocery store and I see a girl buying beer that got a fuking 6 month chip like 2 days earlier! I don't really feel like going to place were people are lieing and crying and they really arent sober! I am doing very good just by myself! I been hiking alot were I live and now I am made a goal for me to do every hike in the canyon! But I still find my self every 1 or 2 weaks getting totally abltertated! Anyways what are some other things that have helped people stay sober becides AA? thanks
Answers:
I applaud you for the resolve you're showing!
Are there any other meetings in your area that these "AA Drunks" don't attend?
If not, contact your local church and ask their help setting up a new meeting place. I sure if you explain what is happening, they will welcome you and offer a lot of support.
No, I'm not a "Religious Person" but I found when I went through a very trying time, the people were very supportive.
My Hubby and two Brothers started new hobbies/sports that kept them away from the drinking places. You end up changing friends some times.
Also, I found every bar carries a Non-alcoholic beer. My Brother feels no pressure drinking N/A after a hockey game and now his friends enjoy having a designated driver!
The hiking is great! Keep it up!
Good luck!
