Anyone know a AA meeting in OMDB?
SLF here, need to get back on the wagon... any ideas, guessing you people may know ; abusive employers and all that baggage.

I doubt you'll find an AA meeting here because attending an AA meeting is tantamount to admitting to being drunk, and being drunk is a criminal offense in this enlightened part of the world.

You're allowed to drink but not get drunk.

But if you have alcohol in your system, you are drunk.

So aside from the odd teetotaller, we are all criminals but they leave us alone unless we drive whilst "drunk" or get up to other public mischief. Or fly.

Just another side of the "culture" of hypocracy and double-standards.

This might help.

There might not be meetings advertised generally, but if anything like Bahrain you may find a meeting being held in a private clinic.

Worth looking into clinic facilities for information and if not actually being held there somebody might know where you can look.

Good luck

Good one Porker.....

You really removed all doubt about your incredible ability to shoot your stupid mouth off. :D

Calm down, woman, I doubted the existence of AA and that's what I said. I never said it didn't exist.

Read the ******* post, tw*t! :=

Well, I read your post, Porky.

Are you trying to say this statement is anything but simply wrong?

Don't know if you realise this, but you usually attend AA meetings sober!!

You made an ill-informed assumtion and used it as an excuse to go on an unrelated rant.

yep....will restate the above again if you want...... you pleasant little fellow. :rolleyes:

Porker,

The poster asked for help, not your perspective, cretin.

TM

So you dish it out but you can't take it, caynine? Do you need your mummy?

Apologies if the comment was somewhat caustic but you DID ask for it with your childish reaction and failure to actually read the post. And if the shoe fits...

Wiz, I know you're smarter than that. As you can see, I never said AA doesn't exist here; I said I doubt it does. And whaddya know, I had no cause for doubt - AA right here in the UAE. How very progressive. Next we'll be given pensions, passports and the vote.

The rant stands. :ok:

Good luck to all who feel a need to attend the AA sessions right here in cosmopolitan Dubai. For many of us, this place lends itself to hitting the bottle much more than our own homes ever did. Whether due to the tempations of the ever-present party-life in Dubai or out of "despair" or distraction, many people seem to find themselves drinking more frequently and more volume than they did before they came here.

Thanks for posting the info.

porker, the guy just wants some info. Your post proves you really are a d*#k.

Oh, get a room you two.

Have to say I'm surprised AA exists in Dubai but if any city can drive you to drink it is this one!
