Guest guest Posted June 27, 1998 Report Share Posted June 27, 1998 I have been in AA for 4 years and haven't attended a meeting for 2 months. I am currently experiencing a lot of anger from my 12 step involvement, specifically anger toward my sponsor. I realize I have been brainwashed. There have been so many red flags that have gone up in the past 4 years, but because I thought I had " flaws " in my character, I decided to obey the steppers. Now I am angry, especially with my sponsor. What makes it really hard is that we have become good friends and now she is giving me the cold shoulder because of my " attitude problem. " I don't understand how people can be so phony. It is almost sub-human behavior. Has anyone else experienced this and what did you do?? I miss my sponsor, but I know that it was not a healthy relationship. When will I feel better? I don't want to drink and I don't buy the " disease " explanation of the steppers. Maybe I am NORMAL!! I just feel very angry and disappointed in all the people I have come to know in AA. ---- Read this list on the Web at http://www.FindMail.com/list/12-step-free/ To unsubscribe, email to 12-step-free-unsubscribe@...
