I will disagree on part of this.... if you go to an AA meeting, it is run by alcoholics. Alcoholics understand better than anyone.
Hanging with someone who is depressed and giving good advice or just support is great therapy. This Idiot talking to you Idiots is good therapy as well.
Spread the knowledge... if you have insight on something.... it can help someone big time.
I agree hxtr. I remember how shut off from my family and friends because they didn't understand nor did they want to. When I talk about my situation its not to get attention but to let people know there is a world out there that is detached because society a=has put them in a back room out of site and that way we don't have to be reminded about the people that got that way because shit happened to them that was more than their minds could handle. This makes a great way for us to support each other. If you don't wanna read it that's your decision not mine!
Urrrh, I doubt AA is run by alcoholics, but rather ex alcoholics. Otherwise no-one would go.
Now I am not an alcoholic so this is simply hearsay on my part. I believe AA teaches that there are no ex alcoholics just recovering ones. So if that is indid is the case alcoholics is running AA and its that fact that brings other alcoholics to their meetings!
