So I started going to AA meetings...

[Tomas]

Can't say I'm really embracing the spirit of things, but at least it's
keeping me focused, sober and keeping me out of the pub every evening,
well the last 10 evenings anyway. Havn't been sober this long for about
3 years. Now just need to stop the Librium. Only took 2 yesterday, try
with only 1 tommorow.

[rosie read n' post]

congrats on getting started on some sobriety.
just keep going to your AA meetings!
how did you doctor tell you to take your Librium?

Stay with it, Tomas. Keep busy. Find things to do. Find people to be
with who aren't drinking. It's that damned idle time when you aren't with
someone that let's you start thinking too much.
Meetings can be oversold, but they have tremendous value when you are
just starting out and you haven't yet found your own version of worthwhile
things to do and don't know a lot of nondrinking people with whom to hang
out.
Trust me on this, although this can be a source of some advice (or at
least insights), it isn't a substitute for actually doing things with
people.
All my best to you and if there is anything I can do, please contact
me. I'm in Akron, Ohio, by the way.

He just prescribed me a jar of 50 10mg, and told me to take them as
required, but no more than 4 a day. Also prescribed me Prozac as he
thinks I'm 'clinically fed up', which I beleive takes about a month to
kick in.
Went to another AA meeting tonight, and saw someone from the first
meeting I attended. It was nice to hear the words 'your looking a lot
more healthy today'.

Maybe the reason I took so long to discover that unqualified
promises are a forte of the unqualified was due to a proficiency in
making unqualified promises.

Have you read "the promises" in the BB lately Bob? We share our experience,
strength and hope with each other, Bob. That's what I was doing with Tomas.
But I know you figured that out. No, an unqualified cannot make someone's
actual alcoholic condition worse by demonstrating proficiency at making
unqualified promises.
..
Sorry you took so long, but so long as you have it today, that's good.

Drive safe Bob.

Wilson demonstrated adequate qualification by prefixing those BB
promises with a qualifier, before "it" got better for him every day
too, to the point he advanced into long term suicidal depression.

I heard that myth regularly at AA meetings, where bullshit like yours
was nurtured with applause.

Soon as I get the 408 stroker kit, she'll be pushing 500hp, Bob. I'll be
really careful not to rear-end anybody. Don't want to make any lawyers rich.
But, in any event a WAD 1 or WAD 2 has a litigation cap in AB. A lawyer can
make your condition actually worse by going for the WAD 3.
Sorry about the depression Bob....I have nothing to share with you about
that worth your applause...

You take care.

Excellent news Tomas-you've accomplished so much in just a few short days.
Thanks for posting here. Your message is a clear reminder to me that, other
than a few more sober moments, your struggle is mine.
Good luck, Steve

If simply going to meetings keeps you from drinking, keep it up. No more,
no less.
