All you have to do to be a member of AA is to have a desire to NOT drink (or stop drinking). Try one and if they poo poo cuz you're an addict, try another one. You never know until you try.
And don't base their success rate on what would or would not work for you. Apparently, the statistics for addicts, of ALL kinds, are VERY LOW indeed.
If I let the statistics on us crackheads scare me, I'd prolly still be out there smoking crack, locked up, or dead.. Still in the vicious cycle.
Boost them statistics up by becoming another member of the recovery club.

We can do it. All we need is a desire to stop using. Try a few of the AA meetings and see if they work for you. If not, go to NA. I know some people that go to BOTH! Heck, I've never been to an AA meeting, but I got plenty of their books to read!
