I didn't mean to sound dismissive about AA. It's great when someone is saved by this. I've dropped in on meetings at times in my life and I never felt comfortable...ever. I guess, cause deep down I know as anyone who is truly honest with themselves is that the willingness and ability to quit has to come from only one place - inside of us. No club, medicine, therapy, intervention can work if we don't have the courage and strength inside.
I think a meeting of all women would be supportive and like you said, it would be nice to meet people who are struggling with drinking...find out what they do. I just don't want to do that 12 step thing and "study the steps", gaaaaaaaaaaa ...I'd rather just get together and play scrabble.
