Welcome Anthony. It's so good to see someone that is honest with themselves, that's a first step with recovery. It seems from the actions of many people, we think that just stopping drinking is the end all, maybe for a few it is. For the long term I've needed AA along with millions of others to keep me "in line with my thinking" and people contact. This site works along some of he same guidelines as AA but with certain exceptions. People might complain about AA being a religious organization, that's pure ignorance in my view, I haven't been in a house of worship in 60+ years. I was taught that the alcohol is but the tip of the iceberg and I had work to do on the subsurface reasons. This included a very large amount of fear, anger, resentments and insecurity's to start off. A big demon for alcoholics is a built in forgetter gremlin which tells us to drink for as many reasons a human can convince himself of. BE WELL
