Hi LeanaJo! I am not an AA participant. If I didn't have another means of support, I might consider it, but I lean on my closest friends and visit this site everyday. I also plan on purchasing literature about alcoholism as a way to enlighten myself as well. So I guess as it stands, I do have my own plan, but no matter what, drinking just isn't an option... at all...if I take a drink I may lose everyone important in my life. Just thinking of that by itself scares me to death and I don't want any part of it.
