Maybe like me you learnt you couldn't do this alone. That's what drove me to AA.
I went to a few different meetings and found some suited me more than others - different suburbs = different styles of people.
I find all are friendly and welcoming. I'm not religious and that doesn't matter to most people there.
It's not just support. I find comfort and listening to the crazy thoughts of others like 'how can i live without drinking' 'i can control this' 'without drink I won't fit in' and other common fears i have comforting and empowering. Alcoholism is a mental disease and AA like other groups is where you'll find survivers who know and understand your every thought and fear.
