sorry A no easy answers here.

in my case, what I did was drink hard and often for 20 yrs..wrecked my body and realised it was literally either stop or die. Fear was better than AA for me. Now my new life is slowly becoming my motivational tool as the fear is subsiding.

I put off doing something about it too, I made excuses, I rationalised I really didn't have a problem, then when that didn't work anymore, I thought I was strong and intelligent enough and could control it. I did all that for 20 years.

Don't get to yr 40s and have to quit or die.

Do something now. If AAs not your deal, find something that is. The Secular Forum stickies is a good place to start looking for non AA programmes.

I'm in Australia....can any other Brits out there help with options ?
