Recovering Alcoholic with 6 years sobriety.

I can tell that alot of recovery people would be preppers. More money in our pockets, more time on our hands, imagination, and need of a hobby.
Well that is my case.

Drive to see your dying Uncle who has lung cancer. Have a couple years in AA and use a belief in a higher power to help you quit.

Sounds crazy but that is what I did. I quit smokin in AA and that is a huge achievement.
I was smokin 2 packs+ a day.

Use the patch and loli-pops. That helps out a whole hell of alot too.


I fell off the smokin wagon a year or so ago. I now smoke cigars. I do not inhale and smoke 4 coronellas a day.

A hell of a lot better than cigarettes though.

Would you rather die or try to believe in something higher?

I was at the point in not caring what to try. I wanted to live and if that meant me believing in God, whom I hated at the time and called myself an Atheist, I was gonna at least try that. It worked for me. I also know of Atheists in AA and they are sober for multiple years.

I wish I could drink moderately which was the answer to Alcoholism at the end of that South Park episode, but alas I cant. For when I drink I can turn into a wild animal.

I have been to meetings that resemble the meeting in that episode. I do not go back to those.

South Park makes fun of everything. I love it. That was not very accurate of what I have seen.
I love the Mormon episode especially the ending when the mormon kid tells stan to go to hell basically.

The Alano club in STL is the gay club. I dont know why that is.

I have one general question, and I would like people's take on it. I mean just from your own ideas despite it is in line with AA/NA or not.

Booze is not a necessity and neither are cigs. What if you take prescribed medication that can cause physical addiction, but still this medication helps you and increase the quality of life? I mean that you take it for a reason, not to get high or anything.

Take it, by all means.
