Thanks guys. Yeah I'm considering it. Doing something at ground level. I just always saw AA etc as such a huge step, as I'm sure a lot of you have.
It almost seems ludicrous, but it'll take some convincing for my gf to know that I need it. She knows about my past history, but her entire family has been basically decimated by alcohol (she's french, lol) so, I seem almost normal. Unfortunately, I know it's not the case in terms of the drink.
