--did you truly try everything else?? if you tried everything, I doubt AA is the only thing left out there to help. Not saying AA should be a last resort... why do people think something picked as your last resort is the best option?? i don't follow the reasoning...

But i can relate too because i walked into AA 10 years earlier and thought what a bunch of crap and when i was 21 and thought the same thing...as long as anyone isn't living their own personal living hell and can't stop drinking but for a short period of months then chill out, sit back and mull over which route to recovery (although it's beyond me why anyone would want recovery if their life isn't that bad at the moment) to inquire about...
