I would like to try AA, but I'm currently in counseling for social anxiety and the thought of speaking in front of people would probably drive me to drink before even going. Have you read any books that has helped? Sometimes I think it's the shame I feel for stuff I've done while drunk that has caused my social anxiety. Who knows... I'm a mess. Thank you for your response. I am at day 1 so I have a long road ahead of me, but this site has already been so helpful.
