If alcohol weren't an issue for someone, they would most likely not have a problem stopping.
Why not give it up for 90 days and see what happens?
AA steps work for untreated alcoholism. For me, alcoholism is that I can't live without drinking. Not so much how much or how often I drink. I can't cope.
Today, the 12 steps help me to live life alcohol and illegal drug-free (except for caffeine and nicotine, at this point).
Glad you found us!

Me it was clearly to get away from my problems, to forget.
I had to get to that nice buzz when you feel super good, right before feeling super bad..

What if that turns out to be alcohol-related? what if I'll be boring or worse, what if I can't find release for the person inside me?
