I have had very good experience in AA, for 37 yrs. They got me started quite fast; in a month, I was feeling 100 times better. I did not go to a treatment program. Try 5 meetings; give it a chance, what's the worst thing that can happen?

Welcome, @ddz. Congratulations on 37 years and thriving. With the holiday season upon us, I wonder if you might have tips or thoughts to share in this related discussion:

May I ask what motivated you to seek out the help of Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) almost 4 decades ago? What was your turning point?
