Do you think this is just trashy?

6. I'm realizing just how crazy the whole thing was now. It's hard when you have been so close

to it for years. He has been my neighbor for 16 years and he has been up and down with the clean and sober - ness. He does well for awhile and then he screws up. Now he has been doing really bad for what seems to be a longer time than any time in the past.

I was in AA for many years, (haven't drank since 1978) and once this girl needed a place to stay so I said she could stay here for a few days. She wanted to go to a meeting and I told her she could use my car. Well she took it and went on a crack run. I called the police at around 1am and told them she stole the car and I almost got myself arrested because I lied and told them I didn't give her permission to take the car and then when I found out they found her and they were going to throw her in jail I told them the truth.

That is one of the reasons I don't go to AA anymore. I do NOT want to diss AA to anyone. It is a great program and it helped me a lot for many years. But after a point you've got to stop rowing and get off on the other side of the ocean so to speak. I needed to get away from people who were so sick because I just did not manage well with them anymore. And that is not to say that everyone in AA is that sick either but there are a lot of new people and, well it is just not for me anymore. If anything I need Alanon again to deal with those 2 knuckleheads around the corner from me.
