You know something, Harry, in my experience, AA is a little standoffish and formal.

NA (Narcotics Anonymous) is much more 'real people' to me. Hard core junkies have a tendency to keep it real.

Alcohol is merely the OLDEST DRUG, so.... if AA turns you off, try NA.

In NA, we hug a lot. I like that.

The meetings bore me.

The one good thing about them is that if I can stay sober until 8:00 PM, then I will be okay. It's a daily goal.

Yes, I have done 90 in 90. 180 in 180. Then something went wrong. Something trivial.

It doesn't take much. It reminds me of the line from that movie about the drug addict: "a broken shoelace".

Hey Harry...Laz has some good advice. I felt the same way about AA and found that NA helped a lot more...and yes, lots of alcoholics go to NA...it's not just for drug addicts.
