Question by : I HAVE PITIFUL INCOMPREHENSIBLE DEMORALIZATION CAUSED BY AA MEETING ATTENDANCE.?
I’ve stayed sober for a year. Things is the aa memebers won’t leave me alone about this higher power thing. I’m an atheist, I just don’t believe that higher power stuff. Wether they call it higher power or god makes no difference to me. There still telling me I have to believe in an imaginary friend to stay sober.
I’m going to leave this irrational organization. Any suggestions on staying sober without AA – I certainly hope so as I will never go back to this crazy AA. Not with the experience I’ve had with them.

First of all, the easiest way to handle your alcoholic cravings is to just have a drink… Moderation is the word here… If you have cravings for alcohol, its only going to be hard on you if you dont drink at all, and there is nothing wrong with having a drink now and again. Your not going to suffer any health problems or anything, in fact there are more benefits to moderate drinking. Of course moderate drinking does not mean taking shots of hard liquor and getting too drunk to walk. Having a couple refreshing beers on a summer day or a nice glass of wine with your dinner on a saturday night should help you maintain and keep your mind off the alcohol.
I used to be a very heavy drinker myself and at one point I would drink 7 days a week, hard liquor. Usually a fifth of jager would only last me one night. So I decided stop drinking so much. Now I drink one or two days a week and just enough to settle my nerves and help me sleep.
However, if your dead set on not drinking period, then my advice is to stay active in the gym, and find another thing to get addicted to. I went a year with absolutely no alcohol and I stayed in the gym pumping iron and keeping my heart going. Adrenaline is just as addictive as any drug and you will start praising yourself and being happy. Its just like getting high pretty much.
Anyways hope this helped a little
