no support system
Just want to add another thought about support systems and AA - AA doesn't get you sober but it can be used as a support system once you are sober.
I am a bit of a loner and went along to AA when I was still drinking but trying to stop. It did nothing but make me worse. I stopped going and in the following 6 months got myself into a position where I was ready to stop. Since then and with new found confidence I have gone back to the meetings. The support is really good once they can see you have stopped and are willing. I haven't started the steps and not sure I ever will - but I am aware of their meaning and am attempting to change some of my behaviours/outlook on life to improve my sobriety.
Just my 2p.
