My family and psychiatrist are making me attend AA meetings but the problem is I can’t stand AA

You might want to read the book “The Sober Truth: Debunking the Bad Science Behind 12 Step Programs,” by Lance Dodd’s. Or check out his website for a taste — there are lots of his articles there.

I’m 95 days sober. (yay) Trying lots of stuff to stay the course. I can’t fully accept the AA program but I go for the company and to make sober friends. I think there many others there who are also trying to find a way to make it work for them despite some stuff in it they find nonsensical. So you might find likeminded others. I’ve also been to Smart Recovery meetings. The one near me lacked a community feel but lots of people really click with it.

I would hate being made to go to AA. Maybe you can reach a compromise and/or brainstorm a treatment plan together?

Where do I start? Found my stash, now what. I will make it to Friday without drinking. Sick of this cycle Why has mental health gotten so much worse over the last 15 years? Coming up on 6 months of sobriety and absolutely hating life!! fourth time around If I drank 60 beers over a 96 hr time frame. Is it all metabolized a few hours after the last drink? My biggest enemy when sober is the boredom. My mind races, and while it knows that the alcohol won’t help in any other conceivable way, it will slow that feeling down and I’ll feel somewhat at peace with my situation. Can anyone else relate? Weight issues?? I've been leaning hard. It's winter. I'm considering not visiting my family this Christmas, but I need to meet my niece. She'll be more than a year old if I don't go this time. day 83... Dreams So... you’re not in the program? I'm not happy
