I'm guessing the binge drinking in combination with anti-depressants don't fiti in too well with your sensibilities either.
My point is, most of us need to make MAJOR changes in our lifestyles to get sober. And that may mean doing some things you completely disagree with initally or never even considered. I'm personally not an AA member but don't discount it unless you have tried it. There are many non-religious people who succeed in AA. And if that doesn't work there are plenty of secular recovery methods - many of them have sub-forums here as well.
