Hi jaw,

I found that I didn't care for AA much either - at first. Alcohol and cocaine soon convinced me otherwise. After my initial reservations, I resolved to keep going for a month. I went, didn't talk to anyone, and listened hard.

After awhile I saw that I didn't need to run with everyone there - I gravitated towards those most like myself, and soon I had found a community of friends with whom I could relate and stay sober. I say soon - it was more like a year or so later - but that was awholeyear in which I didn't drink.

I'm sober 13 years now and loving life. I hope you give AA another shot, or find a way that works for you. There are lots of other paths and people here will help. AA just happens to be mine.
Hope things get better.
Mike
