Please try to be strong and pick up the phone and ring aa, they are there to listen, they can help you if you let them. Remember alcohics eventually get sober or die! so give it a try its helping me i have been off the booze for 8 months and the peace of mind is worth all the hard work

Thankyou for your help. I've attended a few AA classes and they have helped a bit bit I still want to drink everyday when a slight problem arises. I appreciated your help.

I have been thinking about alcohole a lot even though im not drinking, my sponcer told me to read my aa book and 24hr book more, do you have a sponcer, if not get one, read the "just for today card and try to do it "just for today" remember god helped your mum and if you allow him to he will help you, do this for yourself, give it a real try again. good luck

I've heard about sponsors but I'm not sure who they are. I know I need someone to guide me here as I know I'm going to loose everything if I don't stop. I've lost my drivers licence and a lot of friends who don't know how to handle the subject so it would be good for some personal support.

Good way of thinking snaps!!
right ,this is how i did it. I chose an aa group that i was confortable with, then listened hard for a few weeks, i chose my sponsor as a person whos ideas i agreed with, shes got a lot of years sober too, having said that ive just handed her my step 4 and shes asked me if i mind having another group member involved as she doesnt think after about 10 years sober that she has enough experiance to do it alone!! thats what you call humility. Ask the person your considering to give you their phone number, and then talk to them, if they are the right person i think you will know Some one said to me last week"God wont clean youre shoes for you" in other words hes there to help but you have to do the work. why dont you go to aa today or ring one of the member now? its a begining isnt it, be brave... (sorry about the spelling, the words come from my heart and spelling isnt my forte.

Although I'm new to AA I'm a big advocate. I am inspired by the others around me with happy lives and years of sobriety. However, I am told that just attending the meetings is not enough. You must get a sponsor and work the steps.

keep going to aa,you have to want to stay sober before you can get sober.It is alot of work to live in sobriety if your an alcoholic.Stepgirl is right one day at a time is the way to go.Read the aa big book and you will find there are alot of people just like you.Us alcoholics need eachother to stay sober because people that arent problem drinkers dont get it hang in there and email when you want to drink someone will help you out!

Hi Snapper-First of all you have to WANT to quit drinking. You could always get an on-line sponsor until you find someone in an AA meeting that you feel comfortable with. Good Luck!
