I have never been, but many people like AA. My father (who was sober 30 years before his death) went to AA when I was a kid, he too didn't have any friend, yes he had mom and his children, but he actually made friends there,for 1st time since he was a kid...a few that he felt comfy with for many years. Even if youdon't make life friend, you will be with people who are like minded. Just a thought.
