Congratulations, Mean Daddy. I think AA is the way to go; at least there is someone you can call (?) when things get difficult.
I hate this!
I am in a program, but it’s weekly. They say that at three months, your brain chemicals change and it gets a lot better (dopamine, etc.).
I don’t know when things shifted from normal to impossible.. You know? It would have been nice if God had given us a heads-up. ;) Although maybe that’s the point. :)
Thank you for the smile on my face... I wish you the best, always, FRiend. :)
Take care,
Julie
Like you, I have never had a DUI. At 48 I had had enough. I would quit for extended periods of time to see if it had me. Problem was my life never got better.
It’s not the extreme things in life that get us down, it’s the day to day things. AA gave me the tools to level out the highs and lows.
There are many programs to quit, AA works for me. I always believed in God, but AA has given me a spiritual life that I’ve never had.
Before going to AA, I never thought I had choices. I thought when I got angry, it’s the way I was. AA gave me choices and pause in my life. I hope you find what you’re looking for.
