A.A, is good for some people,but I would seriously suggest
finding a "higher power" rather than A.A. Being an alcoholic myself,God was the only thing(other than my kids,of course)that made me quit!I'm not gonna say "good luck" cause luck has nothing to do with it,just don't pick up the 1st one & pray

So you are on the "one is none and two is one which is none" track: one is too many, and a hundred are not enough. Alcoholics Anonymous can teach how to NOT drink if that is what you really want. The compulsion--that desire to drink--does diminish if you go regularly to meetings. Besides you'll meet a lot of neat and interesting people there. Try it. There is nothing to lose--at worse you will be where you are now. But I imagine that you will find the support that you need in AA. Good luck!

You should try going to an open AA meeting. You don't have to do anything but listen. No one will make you talk. I went there when I had to stop drinking, and it is a big help. Trying alone with just will power is difficult if not impossible. Give AA a try.

The only way to stop the next drink is not to take the first drink.

Go to an aa meeting. It's not bad really. Go you will be surprised how nice and normal most folks are.
