Amanda started drinking at 16 years old and progressed quickly to daily drinking at 18 when she moved out of home. Her worsening alcoholism affected her employment and relationships but she still found it difficult to stop drinking. Reaching her rock bottom in her thirties Amanda found Alcoholics Anonymous in rehab but it has taken her multiple attempts at quitting alcohol over 9 years in and out of AA.  She now feels more comfortable as a member of AA.

Sheryn also started drinking in her mid-teens but as a bender drinker she found that she could spend long periods without alcohol however once she had a drink found it very difficult to stop. Coming into AA in her mid-fifties it has taken her a couple of years to accept AA and to accept the support and fellowship of other AA members and to enjoy the benefits of sobriety.

If you think that alcohol may be a problem then Alcoholics Anonymous could help you. Give them a call on 1300 222 222 or see their website aa.org.au.
