Welcome Hopefull. You ARE ready for a meeting. I couln't imagine quitting drinking for 2 weeks on my own. Early on, I went to 2 to 3 meetings per day and it was still extreemly hard. Congrats on your two weeks btw, that's awesome.

There are a ton of programs out there, but AA is what I chose. I knew I was "home" the first time I went to a meeting. For years, nobody drank like I did. My freinds would tell me to "just don't drink so much, pace yourself, stay off the hard stuff, etc..." It never worked. I was constantly drinking, then quitting, then miserable, then drinking, then blacking out, then quitting, then miserable, and on and on...

I found a solution in AA. I am coming up on 6 months and my life has completely turned around. If it can happen for me, it can happen for you.

I wish you the best of luck. Please keep coming back to the site. We're here to help. By helping you, it helps us stay sober - sounds crazy, but it's true.

Hang in there!
