I find myself smoking more since they dropped my pain meds down. I seem to be using it as a distraction from the pain. The lesser of two evils?? What do you do besides smoke, or anything else destructive that approaches you daily?

I have been in a twelve-step program for about 4 months, but am just now trying to actively work the steps. Working Step One was really helpful to me, but I am so stuck on Step Two and the higher power crap. Any advice?

This is an interesting read for the newcomer and other atheists concerning AA's (and NA, CA, etc.) principles. It's horrifying that so many of us in recovery are subjected and coerced into that organization. How it's "suggested" we follow it or ...

Does AA come off as "cultish" to you? I have been in and out of AA since 2008. Relapse, some sobriety achieved only to relapse (time and time again). Out of desperation, I really tried to find "spirituality", I tried the steps, I tried a door knob ...

Hello all! I'm an alcoholic/addict. I haven't had a drink in 1 week. I haven't used in one day. Right now it's minute by minute. I'm disabled so it's not affecting my job, though it has in the past. I can't sleep. Maybe I'll just go put on a movie..
