t,
I really appreciate your support! I've been to AA and it was not for me, but I am willing to try again. I do not want to completely cut myself off from alcohol, I just want control over it. I feel like I am gaining control by reaching out to people that understand (like you) and praying (not to offend anyone, I am not associated with any religious affiliation). I really want to do this on my own. I believe in myself. Thank you so much for your concern. I guess I have and "alternative" mindset about my recovery from binge drinking. I have an open mind though, I just really want to gain self-efficacy from tackling this obstacle without traditional methods.
