I don't need help. The op was asking a genuine question. It doesn't mean he needs the services of AA. Neither do I, believe me. If I think or believe that I or people I know would possibly need the services of the AA, then I would certainly direct them.
My final word. You don't know me, my background OR my previous experiences or not with alcohol. So can I politely suggest that you keep your thoughts, regarding this, to yourself.

So be very careful when you decide to vent your thoughts and how it's done.
