Hi my name is Peter and I'm an alcoholic. I've been sober for two years now after peaking at a liter of vodka a day. I joined AA and found the meetings themselves to be the most helpful thing to me. I've not followed the steps as prescribed and 100% buy into the higher power being the rooms themselves. Just having a safe place to go and talk, without fear of reprisal or judgment, aided my recovery far more than any book did. People get better in AA; people relapse in AA. Finding what works for you gives you the best chance of success, and AA, at the very least, should be part of most plans. It may not give you your moment of clarity, but just being able to talk, listen, and know you're not alone is worth five times the entry fee! (AA is, and always will be, free to all.)
