There is no shame in asking for professional help for yourself if you find AA isn't enough.

AA is a great thing, but it does have its own set of difficulties. Try to go to different meetings at different locations until you find a few you like. I am really glad I went through my early days of sobriety in AA meetings.(I went to my first meeting at Day 3 and then went to 90 in 90.) I was able to be a basket case amongst people who not only understood but who were willing to help me when I asked. Those first few weeks were awful. It gets better. I know you've had several slips, so something's gotta change for you to make it stick!
