What's everyone's opinion of going against your sponsors wishes?
My sponsor wants me to do in person amends when possible, video conferencing amends if in person is not possible, and email/ snailmail if video conferencing not possible
I'm going to chicken out of a few of the amends if I have to do in person or video
I need to start off with the buffer of text
I'm going to send my email and put my phone number at the bottom
If they want to hear me in person they can call me
I am absolutely terrified of making first contact, but if they contact me I can deal

Apologize to who you need to. Relevant issues that need apologies. Fuck that making people feel awkward for the sake of some goal. That would be how I handled it. I apologized with my behavior moving forward.
There’s some reason AA wants you to dwell in your alcoholism. I never got that. Sitting around talking about getting wasted wasn’t conducive to my sobriety. Moving on is what helped me distance myself from that issue.
That’s just me though, I suppose everyone is different.

I was thinking that.
I had a sponsor for about week. I was reading a book and he texted me like what are you doing? I’m like reading a book. He was like is that gonna help you not drink. I was like STFU I’m not drinking so I guess it’s working. Then I blocked his number.
Then I found another old dude that I leaned into when I needed someone but he wasn’t an official sponsor. Just a buddy. He died. Then my dog was a sponsor but she up and died. I couldn’t believe the universe was cruel enough to take my dog but it happened.
gopher - I ain’t got no good advice about it, sorry … almost any regular member would say follow your sponsor
my only real advice is don’t fucking drink
my program is don’t fucking drink
every day I don’t drink is motherfucking win - that’s how I see it
you either stay sober or you don’t.
I ain’t in AA for nothin else
I’m not there to make friends or get therapy or whatever the fuck

My sponsor says not to do what he says blindly and to ask God
I'm not in 12 step to stop drinking, kratom did that for me without steps, I'm in 12 step because I need a program for living, I'm a classic case of self will run riot

If you’re a believer, then pray on it, I guess.

Kind of a funny but darkly true image from ye olde times. One of the first things I learned when I first started understanding alcoholism is that its been the same. What I experienced with alcoholism in the 2010s to 2022 is the same as what people experienced back in the 1930s and is the same as what people experianced 3000 years ago. Alcoholism is truly timeless haha
But yeah thought you guys would enjoy this

I'm not going to tolerate this anymore, if you're not here to post anything about recovering from alcohol, don't post. This isn't a fucking joke, this is peoples lives so grow the fuck up and have some respect. I have no problem banning you!!!

Sorry I may come off as someone that doesn’t really want to quit but I do and thinking of it now I realize I shouldn’t promote my drinking in anyway. I have hidden this thread so will not see any response but I don’t want to get messed up and say something dumb so I’m out. Maybe I’ll unhide it after being sober a while. But I’m actually wanting to quit I haven’t drank anything this morning. I should go to a real AA meeting. I would go sober and respectful.
Also I just wanted to say I really respect you guys for quitting I really have a hard time controlling myself around alcohol what your doing is one of the hardest things for me. I need help.

Go to a meeting and get a sponsor, I'm only on step 9 so I can't sponsor yet, but I'd be comfortable walking you through step 1, which I think will get you wanting to find a real sponsor

Tradition Three is, as stated in the 12&12: “The only requirement for A.A. membership is a desire to stop drinking.” This simple notion has become such a defining principle of AA that it is even stated in the preamble read before every meeting
The only requirement
You are welcome to act the fool. I’m not recommending it. But people come into AA sick. And sick people misbehave. If you want to be sober you are ALWAYS WELCOME. If you’re banned from this thread PM me any time. I got five years of meetings and continuous sobriety.
