I have 4 years of sobriety now. I drank and used drugs(prescription and non) to self-medicate my SAD and basically to get through life(socializing, work, etc.) until I hit rock bottom.
I go to AA meetings, but because of my SAD, I have difficulty in sharing/talking at meetings and doing all those things they suggest you do. Such as: chairing or being the secretary at meetings, sponsoring other people, going out for coffee etc. after the meetings, etc. Heck, most of the time I am lucky to just have the courage to even GO to a meeting!!! Let alone try to talk to people before and after the meetings.
Anyone else have similar experiences with AA?
