I too would like to find another way other then aa, I have been through those rooms since I was 15 (after my first trip to rehab for alcohol abuse) and found that it is a place I just dont belong, or want to belong. It might be a nice way to make friends but at the same time all the backstabbing and weirdos there make me question its usefulness to my life. I know there are many good people there but I dont want to waste my time with the b.s. of the politics of those rooms. Being im not social unless I drink and that I tend to be quite afraid of people in general I would prefer other options myself.
