I'm going on 3 months sober this weekend and I'm still debating whether or not to go to a meeting (I did attend a meeting in college as a course requirement but didn't think I had a problem at the time which I certainly did). I quit cold turkey and it was very hard and continues to be at times. My best friend happens to have been sober for over 8 years and led meetings in the past and he literally saved my life so is like having built in AA. I'm beyond blessed to have him but if you don't have someone like that available, meetings and/or therapy could be the best way to go.
