When I came to the realization that I could no longer continue my drinking but I had no idea how to live without drinking I finally gave into trying AA. I will have 7 years of continuous sobriety on March 13 of this year. AA kept me from feeling like I was going insane from the obsession and craving for a drink. It also has given me the skills to live life with peace, comfort, and happiness. If you too are at the point you are ready for a change I would suggest giving your local AA hotline a call.
