Maybe I have more of a problem than I am willing to admit.

I can tell you that I'm a member of aa. It's not necessarily how much or even when. It's more of the why do you drink? Drinking to get drunk is not a good sign. You have every right to go to an AA mtg just to see. You'll hear stories from others who are alcoholic. I would encourage you to go. It's not a good sign that you drink while on psych meds. I can say that cause I did it for years and it made my illbess that much worse. It's not my place to say you have a drinking problem. That is something you'll have to decide on yr own. If you find that you do have a problem that is the first and hardest step to make. But you'd find relief once you did figure it out. AA is for anyone who thinks they might have a problem or for those that know they have a problem. Many people go to mtgs while still drinking to see if it's right for them. Don't limit yr self. Don't be afraid. If we lived in the same city I would take you. That is another beautiful part of the program. We are very supportive of eachother like I am with you right now. It's scarey to think of walking into a room full of strangers but you'll feel welcome I guarantee it.
