One thing I'd put out there: AA is great if it works for you, but it's not the only game in town and can be hard to love. If it doesn't work for you, SMART and lifering are both popular and well-validated options.

Another AA alternative is Alan Carr's book "The Easy Way to Stop Drinking".

It's a logical approach to repositioning alcohol as a poison that somehow 90% of our population embraces as normal.

It's been mentioned below but I also recommend checking out the Sinclair Method using Naltrexone and CBT

99% (I'm saying this as a non-drinker who can count on one hand the number of other non-drinkers I know)

I agree it's not the only game in town for sure. One close friend actually has learned to replace his addiction with working out. There's certainly a strong correlation of Alcoholism and OCD.

Once in a while he'll have dreams of drinking or the urge to drink. Whatever works to keep you sober and healthy, go for it!
