Reply #56: AA does work....

[Booster]

I was a real drunk for about 20 years when I was much younger and got caught driving while drunk. My sentence was to pay a fine and attend 16 AA meetings. I absolutely hated those meetings; most of the people had traded one addiction for another, which wasn't half as much fun, and all they talked about was when they were drunk. After 20 years of drinking and 16 AA meetings, I quit cold turkey because I vowed I would never go back to another AA meeting. Every time someone asks me how I quit drinking, I simply say "AA" and let it go at that.
