Answer by Ranger4402 I would not ask people in AA for advice on drinking. The most ardent AA members believe if you get strinking drunk just one time then you are an alcoholic. For many of them they fear alcohol so much they have to take that stance so they don’t slip up.
You may not be addicted to alcohol but you might have a predisposition to it because of your addiction to other drugs. This could be a body chemistry issue or the so called addictive personality paradigm.
If I were you then I would find some other way to relive stress. It’s too risky for you in my opinion.
Question by Southern California Belle™: If you were once a drug addict(recovered), who did you marry and what kind of person are they?
Best answer:
Answer by Jear interesting question…but my mom was a meth addict and married my dad who was also a recovered meth addict and now theyre divorced because they just arent right for eachother
that probably wasnt the reason they got together, but my mom said she married my dad because he was an angry person just like her dad, and she thought she could fix him up..
Question by “smooothoperator”: Can a couple that were once drug addicts get clean and stay together clean and sober? or should they split?
Hello, a really good friend of mine started doing drugs with her boyfriend about a year ago and finally realized they hit rock bottom so they went to a couple of AA/NA meetings and relapsed a few times but a majority of people at the meetings keep telling them that they will never make it “together” because they are both triggers to each other. But then another couple said they are doing it clean and sober for 8 months now. She keeps asking me what to do, should she break up with him, get clean then see if it will work or just break up and be friends or just try it? She is totally putting her relationship in my hands but I am scared of giving her the wrong answers. Id rather NOT be involved in any way. But I am her bestest friend so please can I get some input?
Best answer:
Answer by breanna m you can definately make it together. you can correct your mistakes and lean on eachother to get through it. as long as the ot her person isnt pulling you down and holding you back from getting better

I have fallen into the same patterns of abuse i once had. I am a recovery meth addict. I have not used the hard stuff, but alcohol and pot are becoming a problem. Yes I have a sponser and yes I attend AA/NA. Honest answers, if you have struggled with addiction, me and my friends have all kicked the meth habit, but seems like we can not get off the other stuff.
I know that where i am at right now is light years away from when I was on speed. Guess I am just trying to shed all my demons, but they are quite tenacious
I smoked crystal meth for about a year and a half but have stopped, for about 8 months now. While on it I would often have shortness of breath and I’m still having that now. I feel like I can’t take in a deep breath and I was wondering if this has happend to anyone else

SOME SUGGESTIONS FOR IMPROVISING AND PUSHING YOUR MUSICAL SKILLS ~ 2. Your first step towards improvising: Replace some of the melody notes with notes of your own. This is easy to do and quite effective. 3. Improvise using the notes of the Scale. Land *come home* pause on a chord tone and youre safe. WATCH OUT FOR CHORDS WITH NON-SCALE NOTES – LISTEN to what you are playing and LISTEN to the chords as you progress. If you play a note that crunches (your ear will tell you! Never mind when this happens) – get off the note immediately and play on … Tip: Try inserting some semi-tones between notes, here and there. (Chromaticism.)

Do not settle into the proverbial box and succumb to the stultifying idea of cant do this and cant do that ! ! ! – be adventurous! 4.
