Please help me.I have been sober one day. Will never go to AA again. They played God in my life, and I saw too many new comers leave because of this. To many games for me this is very serious, this is my life. 58 yr old female been drinking for 10 years almost daily. Will my liver and heart get better

Hello and welcome. There are methods other than AA. Read here, you will learn a lot. You can change your life. You don't have to live this way.

Welcome to the family. :hug: If you have questions about your health, see your doctor for tests. It's the only way to set your mind at ease.

I had tests done after I stopped drinking and my results were all good so I was relieved.

I hope the support here can help you stop drinking for good. :)

Stopping drinking is the best thing you can do for your health. Have you seen your doctor?

AA is not the only way. Take some time and read posts here, many people are happily sober long-term without AA.

Welcome to the site.

Glad you're here, novie!
A lot of folks here have gotten sober and stayed sober without using AA. The secular connections forum has a lot of great information about other programs and methods that you might find helpful.
And you're right, this is serious stuff we're dealing with and I'm really glad you've made the decision to stop drinking and to reclaim your life.

Welcome Novie nice to meet you

Welcome,

I hope you talk to your dr about your health issues.

There is lots of support here.

Welcome, novie!

Hi Novie, welcome to you. You are right, this is serious business, and now is the best time to start to set it to rights.

See your doctor - it will ease your mind about the current state of your health, and you may get some good advice about proceding with your sobriety plans. The biggest benefit for me when I did it was to make it clear to myself that the party was over, and with it, the misery and anxiety and depression and sickness too.

Most people recover from alcoholism without a formal program of any kind, and you can be one of them. Check out the Secular Connections forum, it's been suggested already, for encouragement in your self-empowerment approach. It's the one that worked for me.

Glad to see you here, Novie. You can do this thing.
