Why AA again
Hi
I am on day 5 and still feel great, but I am getting a little nervous of my confidence, which I think is just the initial high of stopping drinking, and I imagine will dissolve in time. This, is when I will no doubt have to work through why I need to drink. I have tried AA 18 months ago, and I suppose I was what AA call a dry drunk for 3 months. Today I have been considering going back, based on the posts I have read here in the last 5 days where I have read that people don't have the desire to drink anymore...
Can anyone tell me how working through the 12 steps removes the desire to drink? Perhaps I just didnt get this from my meetings, I really struggled to find a higher power within me... I am trying another strategy at the moment based on addiction books I have read, along with SR... Any help would be great.. Thanks x
