I'm not sure AA is for me, and I'm not sure I can do it alone
I could not do it alone, I knew that AA was not for me, as a result I had no choice but to try and stop on my own. Well after a 5year drunk I was hopeless & willing to do anything to stay sober! Doctor sent me to detox & detox sent me to AA.

What I found in the rooms of AA has been experience, strength & hope! I found people who did not judge me for who I was or what I had done in the past, I found people who knew how to stay sober & found true joy in sharing with me how they stayed sober. I found laughter, & friendship as well.

What do you have to lose by going to an AA meeting? An hour or 2 of your time? How many hours did you spend drinking?

What do you have to gain by going to an AA meeting? A new life, friends, long term sobriety?

SR is an awesome place, I would encourage you if the need to drink becomes overwhelming or life sober just sucks to give AA a try before you pick up a drink.
