Thanks. Some helpful comments here. So I went to an AA meeting this evening and in fact it was a Step Meeting so we read the 12 and 12. I just listened. A few of my friends were there.
I think if I'm honest the best new year's plan I can make is actually to work the steps. I've been saying I'm doing them but I'm not really taking them seriously.
That would probably explain why despite regular meetings and coming here, I still drank about 12 times in 2105. Biminiblue is spot on - my ability to moderate sometimes suggests I don't have a terrible problem. But abstinence is so much better for me, really.
