Forget about the God thing, it is unimportant..Just hit as many meetings as you can. I suggest two
a day. The God thing will come as soon as you get comfortable knowing that it isn’t anyones
business to define how you work the program. I suggest going to the same meetings over and
over again establishing a home group. Just sit down relax and try to put some time together.
Get some self esteem into your life by acquiring some sober time. I week 2 weeks....time
like that is a big deal and isn’t easy to obtain. When you go to a meeting extend your hand out
and introduce yourself. People in A.A. are pretty cool but were fucked up. I have Great Muscian
friends, Lawyers , MDs etc. and we all treat each other the same and a big part of our sobriety
is dependent on these friendships. Movies, golf, dinners, camping, games vegas are all great
times. But you have to stick to going 2 the same meetings all the time. As time goes by
the anxiety diminishes and and the obsession to drink is lifted and thats huge. It will come if you
keep coming to the same meetings. Again don’t worry about God. I’m an agnostic and hate all organized religion with a pure passion. My God is the energy of a.a. which allows me to connect with everyone in the room and allows me to help other people and stay out of my head. Its the energy of the room which is my God. Knowing that there is something beyond our own dumb heads that can make decisions for us is so fucking important. Remember its our best thinking which got us into this shit. Our best thinking I tell you. So we need to believe in something other than what our own head tells us to do. This state of freedom can only come if ypo hang around your homegroup and get some friends.
I live in L.A. and would be glad to be of assistance to you so get back with me or leave me an email
letter!!! This thing works I tell ya...It works. P.s. You are in a fucking mess. Take care of yourself quickly....Please ...
