NeoNew---I struggled and I'm still having a hard time. but, AA has really helped me this time and I'm going to keep going. I have slipped more times than I want to admit---I was sober for 3 years and then stopped going to AA and for sure I got into trouble with the bottle. Please just give it a try. I know it's not for everyone--it sure has helped me along with this great group .
hugs to you
Babs
