I think AA is a great program most people if they are able to follow it. I personally wouldn't be able to. I have too much going on in my life to go to meetings, and rarely do I have time without my kids around.
My dad was also one to suggest a rehab facility but since it didn't work for him... it makes it difficult to take him seriously..
However, My Father in law did use AA to quit and was a sponsor for several years. So I know it is a good program.
I am 18 days sober and I've done it without AA. I've done it with my own will power and commitment, Gods power, SR and its wonderful members, family and friends. I think that is enough of a support group.
Thanks for your input, 4health.
I agree with your personal choices as well.
I'm grateful to AA for all the members here who have found recovery through their program.
