hello robdan and welcome to sr.
i too go to AA and i would not have been able to recover without the 12 steps.
i am with trucker on this one.i stopped many times but always my head would tell me it will be ok this time and i would manage better,that i would be able to drink like other people,never worked!
glad you are giving AA a go.
when i was looking for a sponsor i prayed,and sure enough very soon the right lady visited one of my regular meetings one day.when she shared i felt straight away that i could tell that lady anything and i identified with her immedietly.i also knew that she would be no nonsense in her approach to taking me through the steps.
my life is beyond recognition now.
i hope you find a sponsor soon!
keep us updated.
