I remember this suggestion was made to me. They said it takes a long time to get into the position you are now in, and it might take a while for it to come right. What we suggest is you give AA a try for 90 days. Do a meeting everyday, and see how you feel at the end of that time. If you decide AA is not for you, we will happily refund your misery at the door. Couldn't be fairer than that.

I took the 90 meetings idea as a metaphor for total immersion in AA. I gave it everything. Meetings, sponsor, steps, helping others, never expecting to even reach 90 days. My life changed. I never did ask for my misery back, and I've been sober ever since.
