janitorking do you have a sponsor? Have you taken the steps?
AA and other recovery programs are there for people who WANT it, not people that need it.
Every program out there will work for some people and not for others.
None of the programs will work if one does not WORK the program.
In AA it is said "Half measures availed us nothing"
This in reality applies to all recovery programs, if we pick and chose what parts of a program we are willing to do, or do half way then we stand a good chance of relapse.
In many areas of life we may do something half way and get partial results, but when it comes to alcoholism we are either one of 2 things:
Drunk or sober!
What ever program you work, WORK it, WORK it ALL and you will get the results you seek.
1. You have to be totally honest.
2. You have to be open minded.
3. You have to be willing to do what ever it takes to get sober.
If you do not do the above, your odds no matter the program are not good.
