Working the 12 steps with others - Bluidkiti's Alcohol and Drug Addictions Recovery Help/Support Forums

Thank you for sharing David. I went to a meeting and was told I didn't qualify. Do you not find that the 12 Steps of AA are applicable to any addiction? All you have to do is substitute the word sex for alcohol. Most times, it is the alcohol that leads to the other addictions. Which came first, the chicken or the egg?

I stole a glass of wine when I was ten and I looked for that "Awwww" feeling all of my life, I tried many things to find it and it got to a stage, that when I found it, I couldn't stop and was looking for more. I didn't have another drink until I was 17, and then again when I got married. They put me in the hospital at 16 and they gave me 'Valium' for my nervous disorder. I had to go for sexual assault counselling when I was 15 years sober, because of my addictions.

I wish you well on your journey.
