You're asking about AA? OK, who are you and what have you done with the real Toomutch?

Anytime is a good time to go to AA, or at least that's my opinion. You meet the 3rd Tradition, which states that "The only requirement for AA membership is the desire to stop drinking".

In the beginning I was there to hear the message, and to listen for the similarities rather than the differences. When I felt comfortable, and felt that the program of AA would be a foundation for my recovery, then I got a sponsor and started taking and practicing the 12 Steps.

BTW, I was taking SSRI's for my anxiety and depression the first year I was in recovery.

No questions are silly, except for maybe the ones that aren't asked. I'm proud of you for asking
