Powerlessness and the madness of it. So many times I'd decide not to drink only to find myself drunk a few hours later.

I agree with the powerlessness, but not the madness.

I honestly do feel like a large portion of my drinking has to do with the fact that I am absolutely sane, and I don't want to have to think about the mad world that surrounds me.

But, I just had a good AA meeting.

I'll probably go home, drink, and go back to another one at 5.

Find a sponsor, work the steps, trust in God. I know full well that life is fucked, but it doesn't have power over me anymore.

I have told you before, and I will tell you again,

I Believe in God but I do not trust God.

AA is therapeutic for me, but I can never do the 12 steps because step two is impossible.

You should probably mention that unless AA is a joke to you.

I am going to mention it. Why would you think I wouldn't?

Just because you're asking what you should talk about. I've never been there so not sure if they do a lot of small talk. If so, I suggest talking about something that no one would understand unless they just did a wikipedia search on it.

I talk to them about all the mean things people have said about my poetry on Poal

Talk about how you made the decision to fall off the wagon and what you could have done to lower the odds of it happening.

I'm about to leave, so I won't be able to see your response to my question before I get back from the meeting.

What the fuck is so good about being on the wagon when life is so obviously full of shit?

I'll talk with you in two hours.

Quit wasting your time and pretending. When your eyes turn yellow or vomit some blood then maybe you could offer some of your wisdom. Alcoholism appears to be a joke to a lot of people here on Poal. As someone that grew up in the midst of a violent alcoholic with the poverty and social disgrace that went with it- there's nothing funny about it. Nothing.

Tell me about your better opinions about Alcoholism.
