Lexie,
I'm not sure why I am hesitant to attend AA meetings. My mother was a recovering alcoholic along with 2 brothers and they all attended AA to get the help they needed. So you would think that I would be willing to try it myself. I'm not sure if I'm ready to "put myself out there" yet or not. I have tried on my own to stop drinking but have failed as so many on SR have. I feel like I'm getting closer to making the decision to get the help I need, however. Thanks for your post. I will let you know how things go.
