Sobriety date - 15th Oct 2008
Method - counselling twice a week, one to one and group
AA - Will be going to AA in order to learn how to live sober. I am doing ok but it is like learning a new way of living. I will also be going because it will be a great way to meet like minded people. I have read the big book and working the steps seems to me that it will make me a happier and more content person in sobriety. I don't care if it is flawed, right or wrong, outdated etc. I have met long term people who are able to stay sober and happy for the rest of their lives. I have never met a sober person with a good amount of time behind them that was a true alcoholic using alternative programs. I have met a lot of people who use alternatives and keep relapsing. I'm just basing my decision on my life experiences, people I have met and common sense.
