But it was ruining my life and I just didn't want it anymore. So I quit.
This is my story so far. Nice to meet you all. I look forward to the discussions.
Their beliefs and philosophy and my own don't match though and what I am doing is working for me.

Free, There is absoluteley other ways to sobriety you are right, AA worked for me, but is what you are doing really working for you??? Didn't you say your last drink was yesterday. Maybe you should give it a month to see if it is really working and I hope your way works but if it doesn't then explore other routes to recovery. *I wish you the best. I really do my friend!
I had a higher tolerance, all that meant for me was I stayed out there longer and hit a lower bottom.
