@purebloodrebell@TullianT AA is online but online meetings are not like the face to face meetings in my view they lack test human touch, plus online church just lacks fellowship.
@purebloodrebell@TullianT I am a alcoholic that is in recovery, I am not perfect and AA members accept my flaws and imperfections but at church I have been called an alcoholic openly with all my flaws so I prefer AA over church any day

I've shared this before but you brothers be slacking.
When the men who have gone before you teach, sip in hand, you listen.
Whatever you beg to have, you will beg to keep.
It’s extremely important to learn how to be okay on your own. You need to know how to pick yourself up when you fall, provide for yourself, wipe your own tears, and make yourself happy. Having people around is great, but you can’t rely on them to always be there.
i haťe to admit it but they were right.. you kind of need to disappear, lock in like crazy, raise your standards, and refuse to lower them to get your dream life.
A self portrait.
At the time I had lost a lot in life and felt nothing inside.
They say the eyes are a window to your soul and I wanted a way to capture that.
It begins with Phuza Thursday, the warm-up that spills into Friday and Saturday, the official binge drinking days. Sunday, once a sacred day for family and rest, now stands proud on the drinking calendar. Then comes Mogodu Monday, stretching the weekend binging.
By Tuesday, the cumulative five-day hangover sets in; Wednesday is shaky. Come Thursday, the whole cycle starts again. We joke about it, but I doubt our children are in on the joke. They grow up watching us parents lost and submerged in bottles. In the process, their emotional needs are met half way, productivity in workplaces suffers under the weight of exhaustion and alcohol-induced brain fatigue.
May we all remember that each binge steals hours from our selves and our children. Each binge weakens our homes and chips away at our dignity and the future we claim to be building.
PS. Don’t mind me. I’m just a grumpy, boring old fart. Where do I get off writing this nonsense. Rha sies! Uzenza ‘bhetere’ la Lupi. Xa eqale wangubani yena. O nagana o gore o mang- kgosi ya lefatshe
Jobs are stressful. So is unemployment. Not finding a partner is stressful. So is having one. Working in an office is stressful. So is working with your hands. Having 50 clients is stressful. So is having none. Life is full of trade-offs. Don’t romanticise options you don’t know.
