Only one drunken female freeper? I find that hard to believe.
good luck,,,,hope ya make it ,alcohol is hard to overcome,it taste so good. Knowing when to quit is the secret. Took me a few years to figure it out.
Whatever your addiction is, it can be beat. The transformation is a life changer.
I’m probably a bit more tan 10 years without alcohol. I don’t see much point in keeping track.
Do you mean alcoholic and drug addict conservatives discussing their secrets and failings in public here, on the record?
That doesn’t seem very smart to me to create a record like that for people who at some point want to take a public stance, or run for office, or become the leader of some local political story, or whatever.
The closest thing would be in the Religion forum.
I am a little wary about incautious use of the word religion, because that covers a potpourri of faith systems. In fact everybody carries on religion — the only difference is what is it about.
But that pitfall carefully sidestepped, why not put it in Religion. Christian AA is really vintage AA. It was based on a Methodist plan of salvation. As a “Calminian” I think it’s a bit weak on the ironclad promise of eternal salvation. God may have to put your life through the wringer if you stray, but you WILL be back at the final trump. However, it does put attention on your call to work your salvation out on earth (with fear and trembling as the bible says). Recovered addicts are some of the most astounding displays of God’s grace there can be, as long as they get their theology straight enough.
My prayers go out to all of you.

Excellent idea. Thank you for suggesting it.
Maybe you can welcome smokers?
God bless you my FRiend.
There is a member of my family that is cursed with this affliction... I know very well how bad it can be.
I will pray for you tonight, brother. God bless you and strengthen you in this fight.
Will pray for you. I’ve some friends who are trying to quit drugs, recreational type.
Like AA, what if you have family that has an addiction problem? Can we participate?
There is a medication which is proving very promising in reducing the craving for alcohol. Maybe ask a doctor about it. It’s called Gabapentin. Recent studies and someone I know suggest it works for some.
Prayers up for all.
God bless you and all who struggle with addiction.
With the help of the Lord,yes, the cycle can be broken.
There is such a thing as victory.
Anyone who has personal experience that they are willing to share, will certainly help someone else on here.
Laz, you have had quite a journey—your insights would be invaluable here, if you would like to share.
What if you only imbibe when you post at Free Republic?
This might not be an appropriate place for that. Too much visibility and too much politics. AA and politics might not be a good mix since in theory it is apolitical.
