Journal entry—not all my experiences with AA are negative.

By សតិវ អតុ
This week I made it to two AA meetings. I decided to go to AA since my main problem is alcohol. I even told some people at Renewal, which is the name of that chapter, that my main concern is alcohol. The other place kept talking about “a drug is a drug is a drug.” They all say that and they all believe that…but I got tired of being reminded of it. I have to quit drinking…that is the demand on my health. If I do other stuff…maybe it is not so bad. I do know what my problem is. I have to quit chugging alcohol…that I know. Why torture myself by denying my body everything else it needs. A guy has a right to feel good.
This week I saw some old friends, including the woman with the purple hair. Her hair wasn’t purple this week but she told me she might change that this week. I told her that I considered purple hair a good sign that I was in the right place. There was another cute girl who talked to me about her past heroin habit. It was nice to see someone who has been in the same circumstances I’ve been in.
I also wrote this week about marijuana. I don’t care much for it now. There are things I like a lot better. So I really prefer that all drugs by decriminalized. That way I can use what I want. It is my body and I really don’t think the idiots who run our society have any right to tell me how to live.

The thimble minded simpletons who run our society have proven long ago they are too inept to tell us how to live.
