:new: Hello, I have been through quite the ordeal lately and trying to clean things up once again. I am not so keen on doing the AA thing for some reason I just don't seem to be taking what I am suppose to from it or maybe I am doing it wrong anyhow. I have been looking for my path and came across this board...It looks as though it may hold some direction. I definitely have no other choice than to be AF and that is my choice and my hope. I am gathering information and trying to do this for me and not do what everyone else is telling me for once...maybe that will work.


Thanks

GG

Hi and :welcome:

You have come to a great place. Read, download the book and join in. Some people are doing it with the topa, others with just the supplements, cd's etc. some with just the support of the boards. Do whatever works for you. Good luck and looking forward to seeing you on the boards.

A big welcome. Everything Rustop says is right. Stay here and post, read the posts, do the cds, meds, whatever it takes to make it work for you. You will have lots of support. Looking forward to 'seeing' more of you and hearing you story, if you choose to tell it.

GodsGirl,

A big :welcome: from me, too.

I figure "whatever it takes" is the attitude.

If AA doesn't work for you then keep on keepin' on and find something that does.

I use both MWO and AA. MWO is my family and AA is just a place where I can go, touch and feel others like me.

However, so many despise the AA meetings and if you do, don't do it. You must do what makes you comfortable. It is hard enough to beat this "whatever you want to call it" (being PC here..) without putting yourself through machinations that do not work.

Good luck and remember we are here 24/7 if you need us.

ps, do read the MWO book and peruse the site. Lots of good info from all sources here..

Ditto on everything everyone has said so far, esp Cindi in relationship to AA...... AA sometimes works for some and not for others.

I have made some really good friends in AA, where I get my hugs and "real people" relations.........but HERE, this is MY WAY OUT!!! AA never kept me sober (or I should say happily sober, the "for the rest of your life stuff" scares the CRAP out of me.)

Do whatever works for you here.............meds can work, I just started Campral last week, and I think it is working along w/ Kudzu (which I FINALLY found!!!)

Just know we are here for you, everyone has always been here for me to give me all the advice and love I needed to get through all my problems!!!

WELCOME :welcome: and hope to see you around alot!!!

lots of love and hugs!!!
