Welcome. A great site here. Lots of support. Some will rub you the wrong way. Take it in the spirit it was intended--to help you get sober.

Worse than ending up in a Psych ER for drinking?
Many people find it's easier to quit AA than it is to quit drinking. Hope your addiction specialist gets you on a recovery plan that is more appealing than drinking.
Again, welcome and good luck.
