Hi Hopeless15. I'm not an AA push it down your throat person but it's benefited me so I thought I'd mention it. I got sober 16 years ago and I was a hopeless drunk so it's amazing I got sober and have stayed sober all these years. It took me the classic "rock bottom" to get me through the doors of AA and it took a lot of hard work but here I am. I'd be dead now like many family members had I not got sober. There is also Gamblers Anonymous and I know many people who've gotten abstinent from gambling through them, although that's not a problem with me. I stopped going to AA last year due to issues I won't go into but it will always be part of my life one way or the other. I have mental health problems too so I see a psychiatrist and psychologist and I wouldn't have progressed with them had I not been sober. Some people need mental health support like me and others who get sober don't need them. Just some thoughts. Ask me any questions if you like. PM me if you like.
