you don't want to deal with liver disease it's a bitch to say the least. Whatever you decide AA or no AA just get some help and stay sober life is so much better without alcohol. Although it seems at first you can't stay sober or life is going to be boring if you stop drinking, but actually the oposite is the truth, take care.

Mike, I am so with you on this-especially the part about life being boring. Hell, if you have been drinking for years as a hobby, you are going to not know what to do with yourself. It is weird to be "present" and our reaction can be we are bored. This is a sign we have to get into action and enrich our lives. With what? The sky is the limit! We have disregarded the simple pleasures of life being inebriated. Give yourself time, learn to enjoy life again-hobbies, people, whatever interests you. Rediscover it. Give it time-just don't sit around and complain about being bored.
Heck-if yo uare bored PM me and I will give you a reading list of books you can get at a library, promise!

hey Mike, agree with your clearly stated point that the truth is, life sober is the opposite of boring. self-obsession, drinking or sober, is boring.
in my little self-centered box prior to AA, I could hardly hear what people were saying to me. sober I've had a quality life, traveling the greater part of the world, , raised successful kids, built a house, ran my business, flew my own airplane, enjoyed lifelong friendships with wonderful AAs, given my parents the care they needed at the end of their lives, retired young, lived in Europe most of the last 4yrs, and lots more gifts of sobriety in AA. Changing from limiting myself to merely existing miserably in a self-centered box was a matter of taking action on our steps and allowing the tools of AA to turn my focus outwards, away from obsessing inwards on 'how do I feel, uh, how do I feel now?' Odd to me that people choose to do otherwise.
