Didn't matter what time it was. Last 6 months to a year or so of my drinking I'd go on 4-5 day binges, sober up for 2 days or so and then do it all over again.
Binges = drink till you pass out, wake up and the first thing you do is drink some more whiskey
That was my last year of drinking. I'd black out for several days. It was hell on earth. I've now made 6 years without a drop.
AA was critical the first 2 years. I've slowly slipped away from AA meetings but I still practice what I've learned. Ive surrounded myself with good people and don't run from my past.
It can be done. My life is better now than it's ever been before. Not bad from a guy who's parents had already bought a burial plot for.

While different things certainly work for different ppl and AA may not be for everyone for those or you who have said things like "I went to a meeting and didn't like it" or "everyone was too old" or "it felt like a cult" but still have problems with drugs or alcohol try a different meeting
AA is a little like church in that the tone, tenor, and demo of each meeting is different so while they all follow the same basic outline the experience at different meetings can differ quite a bit
