This is a place to motivate each other to control or stop drinking. It is also a place for non drinkers to discuss and share.
We welcome anyone who wishes to join in by asking for advice, sharing our experiences and stories, or just encouraging someone who is trying to quit or cut down.
Please post only when sober; you’re welcome to read in the meanwhile.

yes I ironically had a vision of her via hallucinogens, she showed me I'm part of a bigger living breathing system, so I had a solid concept of god before AA but didn't believe it like I do now, I've got direct results from 6 and 7 she removed my defects, that gave me faith, I get the same benefits from prayer as he does but that's ok, she removed the alcohol problem and that's really all I wanted. I stopped going to NA cause I'm not powerless over drugs and they don't make my life unmanageable. didn't like lying to everyone and myself that I wanna quit. it's been 7 years since I last did anything stronger than weed but I'm open to it.
