Does AA and the 12 steps really work? I have a really bad drinking problem. Went to a rehab and got out after it ended Got a sponsor and even a network of supporting people. But a week or so after getting out, started to isolate and then shortly after, stopped going to meetings and started to drink again. Thought I had reached bottom but guess not. Hate the way I feel and my life. I threw away great people from my life that helped me realize I needed help. I just don't get the 12 steps. And am powerless over alcohol but cannot resist it it seems. Please help! I am struggling so bad or maybe I am not struggling since I have given in again. Yes, my life is a mess and has since a kid. But the booze helps me escape and forget and cannot see my life getting better if I stop. PLEASE help and give me some good advice.
