I told the bottle shop staff I can't drink anymore. So I am stuck in AA forever much to my grief. I still have intense doubts about it but the meetings are helping. I got some sober time up. So here's to day one again in an hour.
Sorry to hear that Sweetichick, but to be honest I'd have to agree with Anna. Nothing your doctor has told you this time is different than you've already been told by him multiple times.

I think it's very important that you typed the words "My choice" above -and that's why I bolded them. It is truly your choice. And I hope you can make the right one.
