Answers:
I've been sober 10 years, and I am here to tell you that AA is not magic. Nothing you see or hear there will fix you. All the work is yours and the desire to quit must come from you. The success rate in AA is about the same as for people who quit on their own.

If you decide to go to AA meetings remember not to leave your common sense behind. There are extremely sick, predatory people in AA who love nothing more than to prey on vulnerable newcomers for sex and money. Make sure that people earn your trust before befriending them. Stay away from anyone who wants money or sex from you or who tries to control your life. Do not make AA your whole social life; do NOT cut off contact with your family or your outside friends.

Hi there - have been where you are. Go to an AA meeting every day for 30 days. Get yourself a sponsor. If you do not want to go by yourself then get a friend to go with you. Trust me it only gets worse and worse - more black outs and no friends. Your other option is to go into residential detox - there are some very good ones. Do not wait until your liver is dead to stop - you will not be able to get a liver transplant either and it is a slow painful death.
What really helped me to stop drinking was getting counseling and antidepressants. Lots and lots and lots of counseling. Not going to kid you - it is a real pain in the posterior - but so worth it!!
Good luck to you with this.Health Question & Answer

Get yourself along to your next AA meeting ! Stop 'pickling' your Liver ! Soon the ONLY thing that the Medics will be able to do with it, is put it in a Specimen Jar & to put you in a hole in the ground, 6' deep, & wearing a wooden overcoat for your own 'Eternal Sleep' !

I went to a DUI school and learned a lot about that type of stuff. My opinion, I think you should go. If you think you do have a problem then you need to go. It does sound to me that you are falling into a big problem and you wont be able to get out once it's too deep.Health Question & Answer
