Even though I am in AA I am not trying to defend the program as much as I am trying to drive home the fact that no matter what you do to get sober it requires change. Change in you. If I don't change, no program is going to help me and change takes time.

I did not "get" the AA program until I had some time invested in it. It did not click the first week or two. I guess I just get frustrated watching people run from program to program looking for the best way or maybe what they want to hear when all you may have to do is look in the mirror. Looking at ourselves is action and results come from action.

Can I ask what you are dissatisfied and frustrated with that led you to this person that said that maybe you were not ready?

And I believe she meant not ready to be sober, not that you are not ready for AA. AA is for anybody that has the desire to stop drinking, period. There are no rules to the level of drinking problem you have.
