I'm a 20 year alcholic struggling to become free of this addiction. I have attended AA meetings and struggled with their philosphy, however, being an aethiest cannot subscribe to a higher power and being powerless. I believe it is up to me and within me to overcome this addiction. I have lost a mother, brother and aunt to this awful disease so I should annd do know better. I have not had a "dry" day in those 20 years. The past few months I have moderated my drinking so that there have been no blackouts and I am able to work productively, however, I know as long as I drink, I will sprial downward to a point I cannot work. I have also subscribed to Women for Sobriety, another site which helps addicted women through empowerment, not submission to a higher power. Don't get it wrong, I'm not knocking AA, it's just not something I can believe in. Is there anyone out there who can provide me with some guidance?
Also, not familiar with online sites, threads, etc, so any guidance you can provide would be appreciated.:new:
