I think everyone is different. For me I have done this solo. No AA, No plan, No support. I have no desire to drink, or ever drink again. I woke up one day and said enough. I am confident in me. That is all I need. Day 71 today and feel a whole new world is opening up. Coming from a member who drank for over 30 years!
