Does anyone else feel like in AA you surround yourself with people who accept you for you? But when you were drinking you felt like people didn’t accept you. It was all about image. I guess that was just my experience lol.

I personally feel and found l the two worlds overlap with image in both without and with alcohol.. Not to sound cynical but people have a in meeting self and an out of meeting self. Sometimes if you are lucky the two people are the same person.
For me, the most important one is God and the other people matter, but not as much as him and I’ve had people in the meetings, not except me either, but that’s OK because it’s not about personalities it’s about principles I’ve grown beyond caring what people think about me and I will except the ones who think highly of me but I do what I do what I need to do for me and I really don’t care who doesn’t like it. I’ve met a lot of difficult personalities in the meetings, but I keep going because I have to save my life.

I so love those words well spoken
And now Its not about image... bummer!!! Im good at that... lol.
Its on me... the image thing... what I found out about myself is I was caught up in the image game which didn't give me time to work on myself in real life so I was like this fake drunk empty person at the end
