Cool thread! I'm just going to throw it all out there in one post. I started AA in 2010, in and out for years. Longest sobriety for me was 17 months. Sober now since September 2, bad summer for me. Got married drunk, got an anullment sober. Slept in my car several nights, a tent a few other nights. Man the Arkansas heat and mosquitoes on a summer night are totally incredible.
Also have a history of using pretty much any drug offered to me, but alcohol was the hardest on me (easiest to get, and use, alone, probably).
I left AA for something else, I had worked the steps with sponsors more than once, but I was missing the most important thing I needed...Faith and Love. I got those now.
Also recovering from major depression, and anxiety (gone now, both), and no thoughts about drinking, drugs, videogames, sex, all that stuff that bent me out of shape by me obsessing on them. I thank God for that.
Peace!
