when you say you tried AA pixie,do you mean you went to meetings or got a sponsor and worked the steps? there is a huge difference.i went back four years ago,and just sat in meetings.it didnt work.this time when i went at the begining of the year i did it differently.i looked for another woman who had a sparkle in her eye and a quiet confidence and asked her to be my sponsor.since working the steps i have no cravings or no desire to drink.the problem has been removed.
