I have been exactly where you are at. Believe me! I thought I was different. I found out that there were millions of people in this world just like me. They are called alcoholics. Welcome to the world of recovery! It can and will get better. You are not alone even though I know that you feel that way. Believe me again, I was just where you are now. I got thru it (the land of the living dead) and so can you. Good Luck.

P.S. I recovered thru A.A. also!

Welcome, and you can do this! Most of us have horror stories to some degree - you will see that in AA too. Don't be afraid to try multiple meetings, each meeting is different. Here is a good link on what to expect:

Your First AA Meeting

keithj · 07-11-2009, 10:18 AM

Stilljustagirl,

This could be the start of a life beyond your dreams. I did much the same as Trucker. I found a guy who knew AA's solution out of the book and he showed me the directions to follow. As a result of that, I recovered from that hopelessness and despair. My life took on new meaning. As a side benefit, I haven't needed or wanted to drink since then.

I can assure you that if you walk into a meeting and tell someone there that you are willing to work the steps, the help will appear. You'll filter right through some of the various opinions in the room, and someone with a solution will show up in your life. It's just how this thing works.

Welcome.
