First off, it’s so good that you recognize that you have a problem. Most addicts don’t realize that until it’s too late. You should feel so good about yourself, that you are voluntarily going to get help, instead of letting your life spiral out of control.
AA does work, but not necessarily the first time. As with any support program, it’s success is dependant on your regular attendance at meetings – maybe even every day. They’re usually about an hour long, and it won’t be hard to find one near your home.
You are taking your first step towards a healthier, happier life. Don’t hate on yourself so much – everybody has flaws, and it shows great personal strength and quality of character for you to go to these meetings unprompted. Good luck with your journey!
