"I really don't think my alcohol problem is bad enough to warrant doing the 12 steps..."

If you ever change your mind, the 12 steps will be ready and waiting for you.

I went to an AA meeting once - it wasn't for me. Too big, too this, too that.

Then I went to a few more and found a bunch of AA meetings that were for me.

Kind of like driving through one town in a state and saying "I went to that state and it wasn't for me".

For me - I chose my own level of misery... I think we all do to some extent.

Find whatever works for you, and work it. Keep coming back.
