to all of you, I truly today finds you sober and with hope. impermanence, I'd suggest you contact Intergroup and get some numbers of women in your area that are in AA. You mentioned you have a social phobia and that's what prevents you from going. Explain to these women and you'll be surprised what can happen!!! They can bring a meeting to you!! I personally know women with phobias (I'm not sure if you're a woman, sorry--this goes the same for men, get men's numbers) such as yours and they feel comfortable at small women's meetings, maybe 4 or 5 women. Also, a Big Book study group is an intimate forum and if you meet the right leader you can work your steps. For me, the only true road to freedom. If you'd like me to expound on this, I will. I never thought it would happen to me and I can't tell you enough EVERYTHING THEY SAID FOR ALL THOSE YEARS I FUMBLED AND FAILED, WHEN I DID WHAT THEY DID, IT'S TRUE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I was no longer the outsider, I feel happy, joyous and free. I also suffer from other illnesses, took meds and am getting off them now.
I could not have done none of this without AA and my higher power. I always looked at "big book thumpers" as semi-cultish, but, that book has been around since 1935---who the f--- am I to think it won't work. Guess what, it DOES.
