Also, do you have any support from anyone? A family member or friend that you can tell that you are trying to get better and need some help? Who knows, you may be the one who starts AA in your town. I'm pretty sure you can read the Big Book online. If so, it talks some about people who have no face-to-face support and how they can find other drunks who need help and form a group together. Wouldn't that be awesome?
I would be so lost without the internet. Honestly it is a life-saver. This website and others on alcoholism are helping me tremendously. I'll look into "the Big Book." As for family - I have my mother but I keep it from her cause I know it would break her heart. My late father died because of booze, and my older brother is an alcoholic who is not willing to change at all. Like my dad, he's pretty much just accepted it.
Yes, it would be great to create a face to face support group.
