I just don't feel that it was AA that helped me abstain from drinking. It doesn't work for everyone, for some it does, but not everyone. I see no harm in going to AA meetings for anybody who is trying to recover from alcoholism, but it's not a guaranteed solution. I guess, AA is just not for me...and I don't know how to explain this to the close people, in my life, that think I need it.
