AA is the on,y thing that has worked for me. It was very hard for me to stop, I kept relapsing over and over for the last year or more. Just being able to talk about things with a group of drunks in person and unloading this wheelbarrow of crap I have been holding inside that I did not know about has helped tremendously. In my humble opinion there is no substitute for the face to face thing. It was scary for me, and I am normally very outgoing and not a wimpy dude. But as soon as I walked in and said I was an alkie, they treated me like family.

Whatever you do, I hope you find relief soon. I know the suffering you feel is very real and the hopelessness that comes with knowing what will eventually happen if you do not stop. Serenity and peace is out there, just getting on the path and taking that first step can be tricky.
