I do AA and therapy. In my experience, AA works better than therapy for drinking.


From what you wrote it sounds like your T is trying to keep you engaged with both therapy and AA. It seems like lots of Ts think that is a good approach. I know that an active addiction (not saying that you have one-you make that call) can interfere with therapy. If that is what is going on, it may be wise to take a break from therapy and focus on the addiction. AA is definitely cheaper than therapy.
