Welcome to SR. Hope this go-around works out for you.

I'm a couple days shy of five months sober--without AA, without any formal recovery plan. There are those that might say abstinence isn't recovery. They might be right. However, I determined that drinking was my problem and stopping has brought much improvement in my life.

So quit drinking. Today. Right now. If you don't see an improvement in your life, if life is more miserable sober than when you were drinking, then maybe the problem is deeper than an addiction to alcohol. Perhaps then you'll be open to AA.

Good luck.
