I use AA as my primary program of recovery. Their meeting availability is much more accessible than any other. SR is a great platform to get my mind off myself.
I always knew I had an issue with alcohol but I didn't want to identify with alcoholics. It took many experiments and years of unsuccessful drinking to finally get to the rooms of AA. Then I still looked for differences with people's shares. When I started to identify I tried to prove I wasn't an alcoholic. I had roughly 90 days sober and I heard about Marty Mann's test to prove if you are or aren't an alcoholic. She said, go have three drinks no more and no less everyday at the same time for 30 days. If you can do this then you're most likely not an alcoholic. I lasted two days and since then I have had no problem identifying as an alcoholic. I can't control my drinking once I start.
good luck and many prayers
