Please Post I'm in trouble - Bluidkiti's Alcohol and Drug Addictions Recovery Help/Support Forums

When I came into recovery, I asked my spiritual advisor and NA sponsor, "What do I need to change?" He said, "Everything."

I was told to change sponsors, but the man had 11 more year than I had, he went to AA, even though he was a recovering addict. My first sponsor called herself a pot head and my last sponsor was addicted to heroin. They were triggered in NA, and went to AA.

In NA, they say, "Alcohol is a drug." So it is about going where you feel comfortable. I went to AA for my denial. I went to NA for identification. I went to Al-Anon and found myself because of my past, my parent, my two failed marriages, two sponsees going back out and not making it back in, and a son who is in active addiction.

We don't quit forever. We quit one day at a time. Just for today, for me, people, places, and things. The drug is but a symptom of my disease (dis-ease), and the problem is me.
