I have a serious drinking problem.. I've been an alcoholic for the past 11 years and I'm finally seeing that I am about to lose everything.
After I wrecked my car driving drunk I realized that I was either going to kill myself or somebody else. Not only that, but the drinking all day and all night plus my meds has to be doing a serious number on my liver.
I don't want to lose my job, my friends and my self respect. Because of this, I have decided that it is time to be sober, and this time for good.
I've quit drinking before, but it never lasted long. I'm that girl who keeps drinking WAY after it's quitting time, I'm the girl who drinks alone, while driving, at work, at home. I drink when I'm happy, when I'm sad, when I'm angry, anxious or scared.
So, I've started to go to AA meetings. I have attended about 8 meeting so far, at least one everyday, and sometimes I go to two a day.
Has anybody else tried Alcoholics Anonymous? Has the program worked? And if it has, how difficult is the program to stick to? I asked somebody to be my temporary sponsor, but I don't get the "going through the steps" stuff.
Anyways, I guess I'm just looking for some feedback.
Thanks!
