You CAN stop. AA is not for everyone but it has worked for an awful lot of people and even if it doesn't work for you, it's still the best game in town and your best bet.
That said, it didn't work for me for reasons that I won't go into because they pertain to MY situation. I WAS able to quit and going it alone was one of the hardest things I've ever done. I had the love and support of a wonderful woman and that made the difference.
I wish that AA had contained my answer, but it did not. This is in no way to be construed as a put-down of AA. They do wonderful work and have saved many lives, both in a figurative and literal sense. It is simply that in my case, AA was not the answer. It may well be yours though.
You've admitted that you have a problem and thats the first step.
Now take the next step and go for it.
As far as those persons who felt compelled to make "humorous" posts, Maybe you should examine the motives that led you to make light of someones plea for help.
Maybe you have a problem too.

BTW, I've been dry now for over 20 years. And I haven't had a drink today.
