[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’ve been drinking too much for about 3 or 4 years. I now have to stop due to pretty bad GI issues that I’m fairly certain were caused by drinking.

[b]It’s just so boring![/b] I know I need to pickup some hobbies, but how long does this last? I’ve been trying to cut back, with varying success for about a year. I have a terrible attitude about quitting when I don’t want to quit.

Anyone who’s BTDT have any idea how long this lasts? I’ve been mostly alcohol-free for more than 2 weeks. [/quote]

That just confirms you are an alcoholic.[/quote]

Life's boring without booze? Seriously? I think you should probably go to AA ASAP.[/quote]

OP already stopped drinking. AA will only add additional boredom.[/quote]

You don’t have even an infinitesimal inkling what you’re talking about. AA is not for everybody, but for some people it provides a badly needed social network of fellow non-drinkers glad to support a fellow person in recovery. AA meetings are filled with laughter, unbelievable stories, and a lot of authentic feelings. If somebody announces in an AA meeting that they’re bored, they won’t be bored long. [/quote]

AA rooms are also filled with narcissists and sexual predators.[/quote]

If you’re speaking from personal experience, I can’t debate what happened to you, except to say you were in the wrong room and there are plenty of others.  (And that “filled” seems a gross and argumentative exaggeration in any event.)

If you’re not speaking from experience you should stop discouraging people by repeating calumny that might wall them off from the help they need.

People die of alcohol misuse. Discouraging them from something that might help because something bad “might” happen virtually guarantees that something bad will happen — they will remain isolated in their disease until it kills them. [/quote]
