Corinne, good for you keeping an open mind to it. I kicked against AA for years.
Trying different meetings, you will hear people who you consider to be 'worse' than you AND not as bad as you. The awful things that alcohol abuse can cause like losing your home, job, partner, health etc, some of us have experienced them and for those that are lucky enough not to, we call them 'yet's. As in 'I haven't lost a job due to alcohol...yet, but if I continued drinking...' Alcoholism is progressive.
Amazing job on 100 days on your own. I was doing it on my own at first and achieved a fairly long amount of sobriety (about a year). And then I relapsed, and couldn't stay sober again for more than abvut a month, and then I did lose a job due to my drinking, for the first time ever. Then I found AA - I wish I had tried it before it came to me losing my job.
