AA isn't a cult but we sure act "funny"

yeah this might trigger some AA mainliners.

I was going everyday for about 4 months because I got bamboozled out of a job. Haven't had a drink in 7 years.

So anyways I started school up to transition into a new career. Afterall im 35 years old and can't just not work like the old timers and "special" people you find in nooners that are unable to work. At some point I need to get a life, at least a job.

Last day off on President's day i had it off and the amount of passive aggressive attitude i received from a lot of the group members really put me off.

"whatever you put in sobriety youll lose!"

"why are you trying to work so hard, have gratitude and live and let live?"

"oh we thought you had relapsed, someone told me you did..no one has seen you here in weeks"

Really outrageous stuff. I know there's a pressure to look, sound and act like the AA mold, because if you don't.. "keep comin'" Right?

I never thought people, especially in AA would turn so quickly. As i see it i made a good sober decision to improve my life that sobriety gave me.
