I haven't actually gone to an AA meeting, I've thought about it many times but I work myself into panic attacks anytime I have to do something social that I'm not used to. As part of my DUI sentencing I went through out patient treatment and IOP/EOP meetings one to three times a week. Maybe AA would be different but I found the group meeting very uncomfortable.
Thank you Healthyandsober
And thank you Least. Like I said, I have never tried to stop drinking "once and for all" it's always been "how can i manage my life better and still drink" - but I am realizing too late that I should have just tried to quit a long time ago. I'm sicking of hurting other people, I never want to hurt anyone else because of my problem anymore, and while I don't really care about myself much, I am tired of being in mental and physical pain.
