You don't need AA to stop drinking, Bizi
It was not for me either, but the book was worth a read.
I really hope that Susan is more receptive to you now that she knows that you are going to stop drinking. Maybe she could be very supportive as well
I'm glad that you are enjoying going to the Unitarian Fellowship. Is there a pastor there that you can speak to about your drinking? Is that something you would be interested in doing?
I hope your Brussel sprouts turned out good!
