I'm curious about your comment that you don't have time for AA or some other recovery program. Why not use the time you would be at a bar or drinking to pursue that?

I'm a newbie here but I will share with you the simplest, and yet (for me) most profound piece of advice I saw here...

Which will you regret more...taking a drink or refusing a drink?

Getting sober is hard, boring, physically and emotionally demanding, etc. So is drinking. There is some great advice and support on this site to help with the process. Yes, there may be some "judgemental teetotalers", but they are few and far between. Personally, I feel lucky to have found this place and these folks.
