Sea Crickets, this is the big thing I hear about AA all the time. THat is what I mean about "I know it sounds corny" I promise this is the last I'll push it because it's supposed to work by attraction rather than promotion. The "meeting" the boring part, first that is onlt some meetings, there are fun ones with young people who don't even talk about drinking but that;s a different point. It's about the step work. THere are 12 steps in AA that if you do them with a sponsor in earnest, I will guarantee you a life free of alcohol and weed. That's the last I'll push about it. I didn't want to get into telling you to do something you don't want to do. They have something called the promises in AA Here they are:
If we are painstaking about this phase of our development, we will be amazed before we are half way through. We are going to know a new freedom and a new happiness. We will not regret the past nor wish to shut the door on it. We will comprehend the word serenity and we will know peace. No matter how far down the scale we have gone, we will see how our experience can benefit others. That feeling of uselessness and selfpity will disappear. We will lose interest in selfish things and gain interest in our fellows. Self-seeking will slip away. Our whole attitude and outlook upon life will change. Fear of people and of economic insecurity will leave us. We will intuitively know how to handle situations which used to baffle us. We will suddenly realize that God is doing for us what we could not do for ourselves.
Are these extravagant promises? We think not. They are being fulfilled among us—sometimes quickly, sometimes slowly. They will always materialize if we work for them.
IF you want a life free of alcohol you can have it with AA
OK now I'm done for real. I apologize for the preaching about it. I've just seen hopeless drunks get sober through the 12 steps I mean people that literally died and came back off their death beds from alcohol poisoning.
I, myself have felt the sting of addiction to booze and narcotics and almost lost my life to a heroin addiction. I went to NA to get my life back. I can only keep what I have by giving it away that's why I carry the message now. I Overdosed and stopped breathing a couple years ago but that didn't stop me. It was only the power of a spiritual awakening as a result of these steps and another program called health realization that deals with mind consciousness and thought.
