>>No. I know going to AA meetings seems like the all-purpose solution to non-alcoholics. I went to some of them and didn't think they were doing me any good. On Monday, though, I promised Emily that if I get the urge to drink I will go to the damn meetings.

>>I do appreciate your persistence, so don't worry about being a PITA. I think I reached a point this weekend where I was as fed up with myself as others already are. I can't go on drinking like that because the episodes are getting worse.

>>Please feel free to email me if you want to but I want to stop blathering on publicly about my personal stuff. I realize just about everyone is tired of hearing it.

>Funny you say that... I'm kind of a permanent lurker over here and it is amazing the load of rubbish (in my opinion, of course) I read about from so many people that certainly think the best of themselves. On the other hand, the majority of your messages always sound the most sensible and balanced ones. We all have bad moments, and I hope you can work through yours.
