In reply to AA scares me and the big book makes me crave...., posted by Caper on June 17, 2004, at 6:34:55
It was my experience that unless I was physically walked home safely from a meeting, I would otherwise find a drink. This started to happen after I had been sober and in AA for 9 months, and it scared me. I know what you mean about the stories in the Big Book, though. To describe the relationship with alcohol as a love affair is completely accurate, and that's how the stories sounded to me too.
In the end I had to pursue my own rocky path to sobriety. But I'm not afraid anymore about being able to do it.
