I am new to this group and new to "groups" in general.  If you have any tips about how to use this system, let me know.

 

I have been sober for 3 years and have worked through serious childhood issues.  I have never related to the AA philosophy.  The group or its' way of thinking never worked for me.  I am afraid, however, of their dire warning that the first drink will take you right back to where you were before you stopped drinking.

 

I have been thinking about having a drink now and then.  Can any of the group members comment on the dire consequences predicted by AA and also about your ability to have a drink now and then?
