I have heard people say many times give AA the same amounts of time you gave to the drink.
Oh well you are in good company. Dr Bob had this same view on what we now call step 9. You can read about it on page 155 in the big book.
He also had something to say about the effort required,. "It never fails, if you go about it with one half the zeal you have been in the habit of showing when you were getting another drink."
