It is a religion - they say its not - but you can literally say anything you want - the fact is that it is religious - it is a faith organization with prayer and supposed relief from a greater power and this idea that you are powerless- it is ultimately dysfunctional and like any religion benefits those that it benefits and doesn't those that it doesn't. I saw something where just natural people using less is better than active attendance and a good network of friends is what is working that and just not using - This is the whole thing where sometimes a faith does some good.. but really sometimes when addiction really is a mental health issue you need mental health professionals and hospitals and ways to protect society. NA and AA are part of that but not integrel and not even the best. The best thing is to treat the conditions that create it to focus the person on ... fucking cognitive behavioral stuff.. Oh and let everyone know that abstinence is is part of the problem not the solution. it looks like a solution but really you are just treating a symptom. I swear you make "relapse" so much worse than if you just had a drink - and if you are old.. older than 45 alcohol is terrible it keeps you awake you cannot drink less than 5 hours before you want to go to bed so no after work drinking.. got to get started in the morning and be done by 3 pm on weekends. That is life. - say you have 10 years of Sobriety - you are not going to be the same person when you drink again - your body is different - yeah drugs are a problem but religion is not the solution its only part of the problem and so is abstinence
Met her at an (anti-racist) rally/concert - we had nearly met a couple of other times at a guys house - I didnt have the nerve before and truthfully I just knew I had seen her around when I went up to her. The weird thing is that her blended family structure is the same as mine.. and it is complex. We support each other and have a lot of common interests - I think this is the main thing that keeps us going after 7 years also honesty - I am making a point to be honest with her. I work to keep her around constantly - I make efforts to be kind and to do lots of little things. I can rest with her I really enjoy this relationship
