I know a lot of people who have benefited from AA meetings. It is not for everyone, and although I am not a great fan of the 12 step programme, as some other people see it, I have been going for years and I find just talking and sharing with other people who want to quit meetings is great. There are alternatives and there is a thread on resources for recovery on this site (see below). Also ,although alcohol is the main obsession of my addictive self, I have preferred to go to CA meetings in some areas. They welcome alcoholics as they are for recovery from any mind altering substance. Best to try a few groups and decide which you are comfortable with and who you think will help you.
