I lurk this sub every single day. CA raised by CAs. Tried and true. Not much on here I can't relate to and the amount of camaraderie in here is honestly almost unparalleled. The ecosystem this sub has created is really fucking fascinating to me.

With that being said - god DAMN if this sub doesn't attract a lot of whiners and people seeking sympathy. So much of it is "Oh woe is me, I fucked up again and I will just never get on track". As someone who is high-functioning it gets really annoying and old to see people constantly feeling so sorry for themselves in this sub.

Success stories are usually something along the lines of "didn't shit my bed" or "SO didn't divorce me today". And fuck me if someone else talks about being embarrassed when the liquor store clerk knows them on a first name basis.

It is so rare to see someone who is actually kicking ass in life and still dealing with hardcore alcoholism. Hell, it's rare to see someone doing ANYTHING with their lives in this sub. It's like the most pathetic AA dropouts came here to trade sob stories and that's 99% of what you see on here.
