There's more, Gma, who raised me from 8 years old, when my mom was killed by a cop in Tacoma, she passed away and I had to help her through her dying days. It was wild to watch someone die slow. I've seen people die quickly before but not from slow hospice care.
That didn't help the drinking.
For 3 months I was the worst version of myself I could imagine
But I started AA, and an alcohol medication called naltrexone.
It's the best day I've had in awhile. Seems to help.
God Bless.

I been there bro. Good job on the first step
My only criticism of AA is that it doesnt help the issue of why u drink in the first place. Sobreity is just as much of a problem as booze is. You're on the right path, but the reason you drink is what needs to be fixed and i dont think AA can help woth that
