AA was never for me. I attended a couple of meetings and it just didn't do anything for me. After the last meeting, I went to the bar directly next door. Who the heck started an AA meeting next to a bar, that was a bad idea. Anyways, I've been drinking and sometimes using drugs for about 10 years now. I did something sooooo horrible last week that triggered me to stop drinking and using 100%. I've said it 100 times before, but I will say it 101 times. I've had enough and I quit! I don't need AA. Hearing other people's experiences will not make me want to quit. I don't believe in that whole higher power stuff. I don't want to inconvience myself and have to drive to meetings all the time. I am just speaking for myself but all I need to do is keep myself busy, and stay away from my "friends" who party. My father and aunt really want me to join AA but I just don't want to....... Maybe it works for some but sure won't work for me.
