Went into working THINKING I had to open but nope lol I go in at 4 to close which was cool, got to go to the gym and eat a dope breakfast and chill. The gym, work, my family, basically keeping busy keeps me out of my head and sober. Plus video games lol :ok_hand:

Alex, awesome! Do you have any resentments towards people, places and things? Can you moderate your drinking? One way to find out if we are alcoholics we see if we can limit our drinking. If one can safely drink one or two drinks and stop then their chances are good that they are not an alcoholic.
I can say that I’m an alcoholic. I can never safely drink alcohol in any form whatsoever. An allergic reaction happens and the phenomenon of cravings are so strong that I lose all control over the drink. Then the next day the mental obsession begins and I think about drinking all the time. It’s like American Airlines-nonstop flight to insanity.
Good thing there is a solution.

Lol oh I know I’m an alcoholic, I tried buying a small bottle of rum and tried drinking about half but ended up drinking the whole thing. The resentment thing is kind of a problem in the sense I don’t like myself and I project that dislike towards others so it’s hard for me to make friends or meet a girl. I’m working on it though with meetings, sharing and I have the best family in the world in my corner

Looks like you e taking the first step! :joy: that’s a good thing.
As for the resentments, fears and our sexual conduct, these are what blocks us off from the spiritual path. I can say getting a sponsor, writing them down and talking with our sponsor helps shed new light on our behaviors.
I too didn’t love myself. I had high expectations of how my life should be. I ran on self will. I caused lots of wreckage. I too had no friends. Today I have lots of friends. I’m making a new one everyday. And I’m your friend. Ask me whatever you want to know about sobriety, spirituality and how to work the steps of AA. I’m here to be of service.
