I know some recovery philosophies say you have to accept being an alcoholic in order to start recovery. For me, I had to work on not drinking and the acceptance came with time. Don't force yourself to make a decision right now. Stay sober and see what sobriety tell you about it.

I could not ever find a better or more subtle way to explain how I have dealt with my alcohol problem.

Although I attend AA - I read my book on my own, do not have a sponsor, but do very MUCH enjoy and draw strength from the meetings. I believe you have to do what works for you and explore yourself - sober.

I think for others AA is the ONLY answer ........

Good luck in your search.
