If a person is serious about quitting, Alcoholics Anonymous works as well as anything. AA costs a lot less too.

“If a person is serious about quitting, Alcoholics Anonymous works as well as anything. AA costs a lot less too.”

People that I listen too say, if you go to a low bottom indigent detox, sober-living facility, or high end luxury hospital, at the end they ALL recommend you have a Big Book, and regularly attend AA meetings.

I simply started at the AA meetings, and have stuck with them.

But you have to be ready. Obviously if this guy was drinking right after release, he wasn’t ready yet. Maybe he needs to kill somebody with his car, lose his job or family, etc. first—like many do.

Many in entertainment are afflicted with alcoholism-addiction.

I believe it may partly be connected to the “creativity gene.” Artists, writers, actors, performers, etc.
