K4D Rising #4

[Esox]

K4d,

Find some different meetings. Go to one in a posh part of town if you want to be with professionals. Try a bunch of different ones. If then you think AA isn't for you then try something else. People get sober without AA. AA doesn’t even exist in some nations and some people find a way to quit drinking destructively. You could try Secular Sobriety, Lifering is another, Rational Recovery is a third. Some of these have online meetings. Google alcohol recovery like I just did.

Also, there are a lot of different types of counseling. Why don't you try a different flavor? It may help you to talk with a live human being about these issues.

Finally, I think a Priest could be a wonderful resource for your spiritual concerns, but I guess I would rather speak with someone that has a successful marriage about marriage problems. It would just seem weird to me to ask advice from someone that really has no idea what it feels like to be in a marriage. He may know intellectually, he may have read a lot about the subject, but it is a different thing all together to have known what it feels like to be in the most intimate relationship that humans can have. I've known pain in my life, but somehow nothing can affect me the way my marriage can. I want to talk to someone that knows what that strife feels like first hand. But that is just me.
