What Should I Do?

Hi Johnster...

Don here, recovered alkie. I ended up in a treatment facility back in Nov. 1970...arrived there drunk. When I sobered up enough to understand where I was and what was happening, one of the staff members told me "You're not very smart! You could have gotten this same thing for free in A.A." I was 47at the time, acting like I was 2. Crying a lot and peeing my pants. Anyway, I stayed the 30 days, I "graduated," and have made AA a way of life ever since. What I heard about AA being free was true...A.A. is free for the asking. If I read your post correctly, treatment, "you've been there and done that!" As a suggestion, give A.A. and/or N.A. the good old college try for 90 days, and if not satisfied, I'm sure they will gladly refund your miseries.

There is a short paragraph in the book of Alcoholics Anonymous, page 88, that goes like this, "It works. It really does." I hope you find this out to be true for you....as it has been for me.

Good luck

Don A.
