Cass...I agree with what everyone else has said. I too come from an alcoholic family and have indulged in binge drinking. But like the others, I found when I was on the right meds my desire to drink went away. Recently when my SRI pooped out, I again had the urge to drink...or do anything to achieve oblivion. Of course I knew this was not the answer...and also it helped that I did not have much opportunity to drink, for various reasons. My vote is for depression as your main problem...alcohol as self-medication.
But AA meetings can't hurt...just like talk therapy, which never did a darned thing to end any of my depressions (right meds the only answer)...but anybody can learn something from it!
