I did try AA a few years ago when I lived in Chicago. I recognized I had a problem after I gave my infant baby boy a bath after 3+ glasses of wine. I don't even remember putting him in bed. Seriously, I'm so lucky (blessed) that nothing has happened to my kids as a result of my drinking.

I didn't continue - I just didn't feel like I could relate to the group. There were maybe 8 people, all who seemed to have much deeper addiction (drugs, etc.) and who lost houses, families, jobs because of their addictions. I felt a great deal of sympathy, but I also felt that I didn't belong.
