I've thought about going to one as of late, but I don't know if I can handle the group setting aspect...I've been to group for a different thing, but I'm only able to go if I'm feeling exceptionally brave...which isn't very often.

Mostly, I'm worried about the shame and embarassment aspect...What if I see someone I know (unlikely, but...)? I wish AA did free counseling or something...

*sigh*

I'm just sick of setting these stupid "goals" for myself (IE: Don't Drink For One Week) and not sticking to them...And drinking for the wrong reasons. (On a positive sidenote, I went out last night and did *really* well, so I am proud of myself for that.)

Thoughts/advice?
