Well, I semi-lurk, but I guess I'll say hello. I'm pretty much in the same boat- been pounding my head against the same rock with 9 years of beer drinking, almost to the day.
I think this weekend might be the time to hit some meetings. I don't necessarily agree with AA, and I've read most of the Big Book, but man I just need the experience of being around some sober people for once! It's just getting too crazy. Best of luck in your endeavours.
