Hello everyone! I was just searching online on how to find a pshycho therapist and ended up at the quizzes section here. I am really glad I came across this forum. It sounds like it is has been very helpful to several people.

So, the first thing I did was take the "Do I need therapy?" quiz. Well, turns out I'm not as crazy as I thought but still feel in need of some help. Anyhow, I'm 24 years old and have been struggling with a problem with alcohol the last few years. It's definitely something I am ready to change in my life, however all attempts I have made in the last year or so have been quite unsuccessful. I kind of saw AA as a last resort, but when I finally reached the point that I felt ready enough to take that step... I began lookin into it and... well it's kind of scared me away.

I definitely consider myself a spirtual person and religous at times, though the fact that AA seems to revolve quite a bit around God and spirituality, just doesn't fit into what I thought it would be all about. To get quite honest, I am kind of frustrated with God right now... and though I know the best thing for me to do would be to overcome that in anyway I can... I'm finding that to be easier said than done. Maybe this is the main reason, or excuse I'm using right now to avoid AA but I was just wondering if anyone has had the same type of concerns or had any first hand experience to dispute the assumption. I dunno... it just all seems cult like if ya ask me heheh.
