Despite my general angst about going to AA because I'm not religious, I think I kind of need to go. I can't seem to stay off the booze on my own. So as we were up to no good last night my best friend, with whom I spend ridiculous amounts of time drinking, and I started talking and he feels like it's out of control, too. So we thought since we can't seem to stop, we might go to AA together. Because I guess we both feel kind of losery about it. Not that we are losers. Losers never catch on that they have a problem and never take responsibility for it. Still though, realizing how far downhill you have gone is never a pleasant experience.

Always seems like people go to AA in hiding and it feels weird to have a friend go with me, alkie or not. If you've ever been to AA, is this typical? Not that it would stop me from going if it were not typical, I'm just curious how things work.
