If and when every other means you use to stop drinking fails, and you're willing to do whatever it takes, the 12 steps will work for you.
Until then, good luck. Seriously.
No you are wrong i am very appreciate of all the help and support i have had here and have stated that several times,but i will say it again thanks to all who have responded
Just because AA is not for me does not mean I can get support and quit by other means.
