If nothing changes, nothing changes.

Did you come to AA because everything was going great?

If not, why would you be resistant to change?

You don't have to do the steps, or go to meetings or get a sponsor, or anything.

I came to AA because my life was a mess, I thought it was all because of alcohol and if I just stop drinking everything else will be fine.
But I was fucking miserable not drinking, I was irritable, full of anxiety/fear, unhappy, and hated it, so I always drank again, anything was better that life without booze.

So I finally realized alcohol wasn't my problem, alcohol was the solution to my problem.

Once I realized that maybe something in me needed I change because I couldn't be happy sober, I took the steps.

Now I'm ten years sober.i honestly haven't wanted a drink for over 9 years and I absolutely, 100% enjoy life way more sober than when I was drinking.

I was open to changing everything, but not everything had to change. I just got rid of the bad stuff which helped my positive attributes shine through.

I would have never in a million years done the steps unless I had to, but now that I've done them and experienced the release of anxiety, peace of mind, and all the other positive things, I keep doing them daily, not necessarily to stay sober, but to live every day to the fullest.

It's funny, almost all of us come into AA resistant to change which is kind of fucked up, I mean look where I ended up, AA, the last house on the block... Lol

Like I said though, you don't have to do steps or get a sponsor or anything, you're always welcome in the AA fellowship if you have a desire to quit drinking and that's what I love about AA.

One day at a time my friend, we just do the next right thing and it all works out.
