I even attended an AA meeting (for the first time last Monday) and with all the talk about alcohol I ended up purchasing a 12 pack, going home and passing out. Not what i was hoping for to say the least, but I'm not giving up.

Hello and welcome, If you go to a group to give up something there will be talk about the "thing" !! You need to focus on HOW to get help in A.A. Before I could live any kind of decent happy life, I had to learn three principles that are the foundation of my recovery. The first is honesty, then open-mindedness, and then willingness. Like most of us in recovery, my admission of powerlessness over my addiction was the first honesty I’ve been certain of in quite a while.
There may be an advert on the television tonight talking about drink too what will you do?
If you have truly surrendered and admitted you are powerless over alcohol then when to go to a meeting, listen for the solution..., ask for help. Get a couple of numbers and ask those people how they did it. I go to A.A and it works for me and has done for quite a while. I had to get honest with myself first.
Wish you all the very best
