I am a heavy drinker, tipsy almost every night and drunk a few times a week. Can someone convince me to stop drinking. I think it depresses me. Should I go to AA?

- Replace the drinking with exercise! Endorphins will make you feel much better.

      - At least you stop at half a bottle, that's really only a couple glasses.

        why don't you both start by committing to take a few days or a week off...if you go out to dinner, you can have one glass...no drinking at home...see how hard that is & you'll get an idea of whether or not you really need AA...it should be a lot easier if you do it together

        It seems like a lot to me. I work out everyday so it hits me (but I'm not drunk). I felt better when I was breastfeeding and not drinking and my stomach was flatter but I like the red wine more.

- Heavy drinkers start to put on weight big time as they age, with all the extra alcohol calories.

- You won't do it for anybody else. When you're ready to do it for yourself, you'll go to AA. You already know all the reasons why you need to be there.
