The Barflies Message Board

Welcome to the Barflies Group Message Board. We encourage all alcoholics to share their experience, strength and hope in a way that is conducive to AA’s primary purpose, which is to stay sober and help other alcoholics achieve sobriety.

PLEASE NOTICE: the Barflies Group maintains the right to block disruptive users and delete posts/replies that do not support our primary purpose as stated above or that we deem harmful to alcoholics. We truly want this board to be yet one more way for alcoholics to help one another, and we want it to be a safe place to go, should the need arise. With that said, we will do all we possibly can to maintain the integrity of the board.

Exagerated Problems - posted by Pile of Coathangers at 05/06 08:46AM I must say that I started out with a sunnier disposition this morning, lol. Went to the Dr yesterday and got some medicine and a shot for my nose and went home and rested. I guess my point is that when I wait a over a week, or however much time, to do things I know I'm suppose to do whether its because of one fear/anxiety or another I will reap the consequences. I do the same thing in my spiritual life! I can't count the number of times I sit around the apartment feeling sorry for myself wondering what God's will is for me to do. Glancing around the apartment my AA literature will catch my eye and I won't pick it up and start reading.Its really pretty pathetic! Guess you can lead a horse to water but you can't make it drink.
