Good to know you won't wait as long as I did
between meetings.....
That 3 year span for me was simply miserable.
I became situationally depressed from alcohol.

Even with AA....I did return to drinking.
I thought I was doomed to lose my mind.
Why did I drink tho I wanted to quit forever?

When I read ...."Under The Influence" by Milam & Ketchan
Eureka! My brain and body no longer processed
alcohol correctly. My mind was saturated.

Back to AA ...re -connected with my God
I've not had another drink .
AA Step work shifted me from shakey sobriety
into solid recovery....

No, AA is not the only way....but it continues to
be an awesome adventure for me.

BTW....we have a sticky in our Alcoholism Forum
with excerpts from "Under The Influence"
Perhaps you will find it of interest.
