Thanks Eddie, this is not a desision ive come to over night,it's been on my mind for a few years. In the past ive felt pressured into going to AA, like "This is the only way to achieve long term sobriety" I don't want to be part of the big book thumping society and I don't want people trying to over analyse my sobriety and my path of recovery. I thought a moto of AA was keep it simple.
Like I said ive had plenty of attempts at sobriety over the years so this time im going to do things my way.

(This is just my own opinion. I do realise that AA works for lots of people)
