his is what I was thinking, now I just need to convince my arrogant parents who see AA as child's play and not a serious institution.
You can give them these facts.. And if that isn't a serious institution, then I don't know what would qualify.
Today, A.A. has a presence in over 170 countries, with an estimated total of 114,070 groups and more than 2 million members worldwide. Alcoholics Anonymous, now in its fourth edition, has sold over 30 million copies and has been translated into 67 languages.
Another thing is that I have no insurance currently so I don't know how I will pay for this without something like Medicaid.
There are rehabs that will take you with or without the ability to pay.. I am over in Cleveland and we have quite a few for men and women. I know they do all over NY also, so just go to a meeting and meet some people they will help you find the way..
