12 step programs and TRP

I am in a 12 step program and while I think you'll find a ton of damaged unheathy people in the rooms you will also find people who are very in the moment and zen and have a strength and calmness that is very similar/ compatible with being alpha so to speak.

The program itself is about owning your shit and conquering fears, I'd say it goes naturally with trp in a lot of ways. Get an alpha sponsor and you have a good mentor.

The thing that needs to be said is that you must be extremely wary of females from the rooms and even males who you'd be friends with. Some people use it as a social club or seeking for validation don't be like that. Do the program w a sponsor get comfortable speaking in front of a large group and have a full life outside of that

I've been clean and sober for 3.5 years. There's is a certain amount of crossover, yes, but it's really important to remember that you're going to 12-step meetings to not use. Full stop. You're not there to grab some ass, you're not there to be a men's rights victim, you're there to address your addiction and not use.

No amount of RP will save your sorry ass if you're chasing the next high.

EDIT: From experience: There's not a single woman in those rooms that doesn't come with a shitload of emotional baggage. Don't lie to yourself.

Solid advice. I'm not going there to do anything but get off the shit that made a mess of my life and relationships.
