I am new to this...
I appretiate your post, your feelings on the AA meetings are the same as mine. I have a binge drinking problem which I cannot seem to work through - I go out twice a week 'till closing and I hate the next day.
I've been to an AA meeting once and found it helpful in understanding my problem. However, I did not find any "peers". My drinking problem has not affected my job or family life. I assume it will though, and I am starting to notice that my body is being destroyed.
